Our study revealed that the level of good adherence is low compared with the national target. Therefore, addressing the low adherence of Option B plus ART requires a policy response, such as efforts to enhance male partner involvement and better service accessibility in Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) program. Moreover, health care providers and policymakers need to maximaze their efforts on HIV positive pregnant and lactating mothers using a clock as a reminder.
