ABSTRACT
HIV has direct effect on child nutrition, the choice of Infant and Young Child Feeding in the context of HIV has significant effect on optimal child growth, survival and development. In the absence of any interventions, 5-20% of infants born to HIV infected women will be infected through breastfeeding. This study determined the level of adherence to recommended infant feeding option among HIV positive Mothers attending post-natal services in health facilities in Abuja. A cross sectional descriptive study was conducted among 404 randomly selected HIV positive mothers attending postnatal clinic in Abuja. Pre-tested interviewer administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data and analysis was done using Epi-info software. Chi-square and Odd ratio were used to determine associations while p-value was set at 0.05. The study found that a third of the respondents, 135 (33.4%) were within the age range of 30 – 34years. 68 (16.8%) had followed the recommended infant feeding practice while about a third (30.4%) had practiced mixed feeding. Predictors of adherence were found to be good knowledge (p=0.001), attendance of ANC at secondary facility (p=0.01) and employment status of respondents (p=0.01), were found to be independently associated (p-value of < 0.05) with Adherence Conclusion: Seventy-three (73%) of respondents attended Antenatal Care at secondary health facility. Majority (93%) of the respondents have good knowledge, fair (42%) attitude and low adherence (16.8%) to the recommended feeding option. Predictors of adherence were good knowledge, type of health facility and employment. Key Words: Adherence to Infant feeding, Mothers, HIV Positive.
