Spatial pattern and determinants of sufficient knowledge of mother to child transmission of HIV and its prevention among Nigerian women.

The lack of sufficient knowledge of mother to child transmission (MTCT) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among pregnant women is considered a major contributor to new pediatric HIV infections globally, and increasing HIV related infant mortality especially in developing countries. Nigeria has t...
