ABSTRACT
This study was carried out on cultural beliefs and gender dynamics of PMTCT services among pregnant women. To achieve this, three significant research objectives were formulated. The survey design was adopted and the simple random sampling techniques were employed in this study. The population size comprise of married men and women in Agbogugu community, Enugu State. In determining the sample size, the researcher conveniently selected 119 respondents while 109 were received and 100 were validated. Self-constructed and validated questionnaire was used for data collection. The collected and validated questionnaires were analyzed using frequency tables and percentage. The result of the findings reveals that men always receive negative attitudes from community members when escorting their spouses to the antenatal clinic. The findings also revealed that men who accompany their wives to ANC have been perceived to be weaklings by their peers. In regard to the findings, the study recommends that health personnel should always encourage husbands of women living with HIV to utilize PMTCT services to prevent mother to child transmission of the virus; health personnel should avoid discrimination of women living with HIV and to show them positive attitude to that will encourage them to continue to utilize PMTCT services; The government should provide PMTCT centres in rural areas so as to provide access to PMTCT facilities to all, especially among women resident in rural areas. This will serve as an encouragement to rural pregnant women to utilize the PMTCT services.
