In this study, the overall level of adherence to PMTCT care and support was 83.2%. Counseling on side effects, knowledge about PMTCT, and pregnancy status during initiation of ART were the factors that determine adherence of pregnant and lactating women towards PMTCT service. Thus, it is recommended to raise awareness about PMTCT among all reproductive-age women by stressing the benefit of the early initiation of ART and by providing information on the possible side effect of the drugs.
