AB  - OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of male 
      involvement in prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) of human immune 
      virus (HIV) and associated factors among partners' of reproductive age women at 
      Debre Tabor town, Northwest Ethiopia. A community based cross sectional study was 
      employed among 561 study participants. Data was collected with pretested 
      structured questionnaire. The data was entered by Epi-Info version 7 software and 
      exported to SPSS version 23 for analysis. Statistical significance was declared 
      at P value of < 0.05. RESULTS: In this study, only 119 (21.2%) of males (95% CI 
      17.8%, 24.8%) were involved in PMTCT of HIV. Being government employee 
      (AOR = 3.73, 95%CI (2.169, 6.419)), had ever heard about PMTCT of HIV 
      (AOR = 2.46, 95%CI (1.20, 5.02)), discussed with their partner (AOR = 3.11, 95%CI 
      (1.43, 6.55)), partners' who were informed the need to go PMTCT of HIV clinic 
      (AOR = 2.45, 95%CI (1.17, 5.14)), Health workers friendly approach (AOR = 2.36, 
      95%CI (1.34, 4.15)), and long waiting time (AOR = 0.36, 95%CI (0.216, 0.610)) 
      were found to be significantly associated with male involvement in PMTCT of HIV. 
      Improving service provision including respectful care and health education on
