AB  - BACKGROUND: Globally, male involvement has been identified as a priority target 
      area to be strengthened in the prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) 
      of HIV. However, there are limited studies on husband involvement in the 
      prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV in Ethiopia. Therefore, this 
      study aimed to assess male involvement in the prevention of mother to child 
      transmission of HIV and associated factors among males whose wives gave birth in 
      the last six months before the survey in Enebsiesarmider district, Northwest 
      Ethiopia. METHODS: A Community-based cross-sectional study was employed to assess 
      male involvement in the prevention of mother to child transmission of human 
      immunodeficiency virus and associated factors in Enebsiesarmider District, 
      Northwest Ethiopia. The study was conducted from February 10-30, 2018. A total of 
      525 participants were involved in the study. A stratified cluster sampling method 
      was used to recruit study participants. Data were collected using a structured 
      interviewer-administered questionnaire. Data were entered using the epi Data 
      software and exported to SPPS for analysis. Descriptive statistics including 
      mean, a proportion were used to describe study variables. Multivariable logistic 
      regression was employed to describe variables with the outcome variable. RESULT: 
      Overall male involvement in PMTCT was found to be 26.1% [95%CI, 22.1-29.5]. 
      Respondents who have attended secondary education and above were more likely get 
      involved in PMTCT than who have no formal education [AOR 2.45, 95%CI, 1.47-4.11], 
      Respondents who have good knowledge on PMTCT [AOR 2.57, 95%CI, 1.58-4.18], good 
      knowledge on ANC [AOR 2.10, 95%CI, 1.28-3.44], low cultural barriers [AOR 2.20, 
      95%CI, 1.34-3.63] low health system barriers [AOR 2.40, 95%CI, 1.37-4.20] were 
      variables that significantly increase male involvement in PMTCT practices. 
      CONCLUSION: Male involvement in PMTCT was found to be low in the study area. 
      Therefore, the district health office in collaboration with local health care 
      providers shall design strategies for enhancing male involvement through creating 
      a husband's knowledge regarding the merit of prevention of mother to child 
      transmission through the provision of adequate information for all male partners 
      at ANC clinic is recommended.
