The PMTCT programme has been at the forefront of\u00a0global prevention efforts since 1998. Without treatment, the risk of transmission ranges from\u00a0one in five to one in two newborns; however, the risk of mother-to-child transmission can be\u00a0reduced to as low as 2%\u20135% with evidenced interventions. Sub-Saharan Africa, and most\u00a0particularly South Africa, is the most affected by the pandemic despite having the largest\u00a0financial investment in PMTCT services across the continent.Objectives: The objectives of the study were to describe and explore the female perspectives\u00a0of male inclusion in the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission programme in\u00a0KwaZulu-Natal.Methodology: A qualitative, descriptive, explorative study was conducted through in-depth\u00a0individual interview of pregnant women until data saturation.Results: The findings of the study revealed that the existing design of public hospitals was not\u00a0wholly conducive to facilitating male inclusion in maternal and child health services. Resources\u00a0were largely insufficient to support the participation of pregnant mothers and any attempts to\u00a0support the inclusion of males needed to be based on a clear increase in service provision.Conclusion: The study recommended male partners\u2019 inclusion in the prevention of mother-\u00a0to-child HIV transmission to support effective management of HIV in pregnancy and PMTCT\u00a0programmes. The inclusion of men will provide the holistic support needed by pregnant\u00a0women on PMTCT programmes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4102\/curationis.v39i1.1691","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,7]],"date-time":"2016-12-07T10:18:04Z","timestamp":1481105884000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Female
