Prevention of HIV mother to child transmission interventions were accessed and mother to child transmission rates were calculated.RESULTS: The study population is young (median: 26 years; interquartile range: 22.0-31.0), with low monthly family income (40.4% up to one Brazilian minimum wage) and schooling (62.1% less than 8 years).
