AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study was aimed to asses knowledge of prevention of mother to 
      child transmission of HIV among reproductive age women and associated factors at 
      Mecha district, North West Ethiopia. A community based cross sectional study was 
      conducted among 853 reproductive age women from July 1- 30/2016 in Mecha 
      district. By multistage sampling technique data were collected through pre-tested 
      questionnaire. The collected data was entered in Epi Data 3.1 and analyzed with 
      SPSS version 20. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression model were used. 
      RESULT: About 22.4% of the respondents were knowledgeable on prevention of mother 
      to child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV. Having knowledge on PMTCT of HIV was 
      significantly associated with urban residence (AOR = 2.486, 95% CI 1.160-5.328), 
      education level of secondary and above (AOR = 5.445, 95% CI 2.698-10.986), those 
      having history of antenatal care followup (AOR = 4.430, 95% CI 1.471-13.340), 
      those with history of institutional delivery (AOR = 4.766, 95%CI 2.004-11.334), 
      those having comprehensive knowledge on HIV/AIDS (AOR = 1.697, 95%CI 
      1.011-2.846), women who were knowledgeable about mother to child transmission of 
      HIV (AOR = 2.203, 95% CI 1.37-3.54), and women who held discussions with their 
      husband regarding HIV/AIDS, (AOR = 2.700, 95% CI 1.658-4.396).
