Factors associated with dropout at the stage of maternal HIV testing (A), CD4 count testing and result (B) and at any of the four steps in the PMTCT cascade(C), 2010 (logistic model).

Percentages are row percentages. The following factors were non-influential in a univariable analysis (for all models) thus were not included in the multivariable model: lack of social Support, inadequate knowledge of mother-to-child transmission modes, unplanned pregnancy, married or living with partner, and race. Disclosure of status was asked only if the mother know her HIV status. All numbers (N, n) are unweighted and all percentages and AORs’ are from weighted analysis. Category frequencies do not add to the total because of missing responses.
The significance (p.value) of the overall effects for the following multiple category variables were: for first antenatal visit 0.04, 0.049 and 0.005 for models A- C respectively; for number of live children 0.0006, 0.9,0.3 for models A-C respectively and for maternal age 0.0002, 0.04, 0.002 for models A-C respectively.
