## Abstract
BACKGROUND: Prevention of mother-to-child Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) transmission or prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) is part of efforts to control HIV-Acquired Deficiency Syndrome and sexually transmitted infections. In Indonesia, there were 1,805,993 pregnant women who were tested for HIV and there were 5074 (0.28%) pregnant women who were HIV positive. AIM: The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that influence pregnant women not to conduct a PMTCT examination in Makassar City in 2019. METHODS: This study was an observational analytic study with cross-sectional design. The sample in this study was 260 pregnant women in the working area of the Sudiang Raya Health Center and Antang Perumnas Makassar City. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test and multiple logistic regressions. RESULTS: The results showed that education affected pregnant women who did not conduct PMTCT examination with p = 0.013 (p <0.05) with odds ratio = 4.571 and there were some variables that were not significant such as age variable with p = 0.700 (p> 0.05), knowledge p = 0.621 (p > 0.05), perceived susceptibility p = 0.467 (p > 0.05), and perceived severity p = 1000 (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: It was concluded that education affects pregnant women who do not conduct PMTCT examinations and for age, knowledge, perceived susceptibility and perceived severity do not affect pregnant women who do not conduct PMTCT examinations in Makassar City.
