  abstract = {{M}ost {HIV}-infected children in {S}ub-{S}aharan {A}frica are born where programs for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of {HIV} ({PMTCT}) exist but are not universally operational. {T}he expansion of {PMTCT} programs in {C}ameroon was among the largest in francophone {A}frica, but despite highly variable estimates of {PMTCT} uptake (ranging from 20% to 66%), it is clear that not enough {HIV}-infected pregnant {C}ameroonian women benefit from treatment to prevent {HIV} transmission to their children. {T}he reasons why {HIV}-infected women in {C}ameroon do not use treatments to prevent this transmission remain partially unidentified. {W}e conducted a qualitative study of the therapeutic itineraries (treatments taken and motivations) followed by {HIV}-infected pregnant women in {C}ameroon to understand the barriers to accessing high-quality {PMTCT} care. {H}ere we construct the therapeutic itinerary for {HIV}-infected pregnant women, and identify the barriers at each step. {L}ack of financial independence, personal support, and empowering information were the primary obstacles at multiple steps.},
