Abstract
This paper employs regression analysis in an attempt to identify the factors that impact onthe coverage of highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) and mother-to-childtransmission prevention (MTCTP) in different countries. Both HAART and MTCTP arebased on the administration of antiretroviral drugs and constitute an integral part of asuccessful response to the HIV / AIDS epidemic. Governments play an important role indetermining the level ofHAART and MTCTP coverage in a country.
