To investigate the willingness of Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) to provide single dose antiretroviral prophylaxis to infants born to mothers with HIV and the feasibility of providing the TBAs with antiretroviral medication.
2 focus groups with a total of 17 registered TBAs.
Lilongwe, Malawi.
TBAs were recruited by local health workers and participated in focus groups assessing their attitudes towards participation in a PMTCT program.
TBAs were willing to participate in this prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT) program and helped identify barriers to their participation.
Given appropriate support and training, TBAs' participation in PMTCT programs could be an additional way to deliver medication to mothers and neonates who might otherwise miss crucial doses of medication.

传统助产士愿意参与这一预防母婴传播艾滋病毒（PMTCT）项目，并协助找出她们参与项目的障碍。
给予适当的支持和培训，传统助产士参与预防母婴传播艾滋病毒（PMTCT）项目可能是一种额外的给药方式，可惠及那些可能错过关键剂量药物的母亲和新生儿。
