HIV is increasingly prevalent among pregnant women in Tanzania mainland especially among older, those with lower or no formal education, those outside marital union, and pregnant women living in urban and semi-urban areas.

Interventions to increase HIV testing and linkage to care among women of reproductive age should be intensified.
