The TPB main concepts of control and normative beliefs were particularly important in predicting prenatal intended duration of EBF.
The Wald statistics showed that only maternal education (p < .001) and EBCB (p < .05) made a significant contribution to the final model predicting prenatal intended duration of EBF.
Additionally, multiple regressions were run to determine significant predictors of HIV-positive mothers' prenatal intended duration of exclusive breastfeeding and their likelihood to exclusively breastfeed for six months.
According to TPB [ 20], one would expect a high score of positive beliefs to predict an increased prenatal intended duration of EBF.
The results show that across the systems, including the low-, medium-, and high-load conditions, a timing accuracy of the intended duration within the range of ± 1 frame deviation was present in 97 % of the trials.
The aim of the current study was to explore factors that influence HIV-positive mothers' prenatal intended duration of exclusive breastfeeding and their likelihood to exclusively breastfeed for 24 weeks in Blantyre, Malawi.
An exploratory study was therefore conducted to determine factors that influence HIV-positive mothers' prenatal intended duration of exclusive breastfeeding and their likelihood to exclusively breastfeed for six months.
Among women who had experienced abortion complications, we collected data on circumstances surrounding the abortion contraceptive use and whether the pregnancy was intended, duration of pregnancy prior to the first abortion attempt and the method used at the first abortion attempt.
In the present study, it is possible that mothers who had disclosed their status feared opposition from their significant others because of the perceived and actual risks of HIV transmission through breast milk hence the shorter prenatal intended duration of EBF than their counterparts.
Our questionnaire solicited the following information about each program: name, web URL (if applicable), advocated mentoring model (one-on-one or group mentoring), the program's goals and intended duration, the number of participating mentees and mentors, as well as, funding and staff.
