Only about one-third (32.2%) of pregnant mothers on ANC follow-up had comprehensive knowledge. Thus, it would be better if the health institutions emphasize educating the mothers attending antenatal care follow-up about HIV/AIDS, for those who do not know pregnancy occurrence date, not empowered of sexual practice, and had an encouraging attitude toward multiple partners, premarital sex, and negative attitude toward accepting HIV/AIDS patients.
