Consistent condom use and HIV-related knowledge increased baseline to post-intervention and was maintained at long term follow up postpartum among participants in the intervention condition. HIV knowledge mediated the relationship between the intervention and consistent condom use. Results from this pilot study provide support for the integration of HIV risk reduction interventions for both women and men into existing PMTCT services during and following pregnancy
