Materials and Methods:QuasiExperimental one group pre– test & post – test design was used. As the research problem was aimed at enhancing the Prevention of Parent to Child Transmission of HIV among ANM in selected rural area.The sample for the study was n=40 Auxiliary Midwifery Nurse (ANM) selected by Non–Probalityconvenient sampling technique. The pre–test was introduced to assess the knowledge among the group of samples on the basis of pre–test result Planned Teaching Programme was formulated and introduce to the sample after that the post–test was conducted and the result were evaluated through the structured questionnaire. The data was analyzed paired t–test and ANOVA. Results:The average pre–test knowledge score of ANM found21.20. After the Planned Teaching Programme; themean post–test knowledge score was 28.50. Thus the difference in level of the knowledge wasconfirmed by the obtained paired t–test test value (13.34). This was statistically significant (P<0.001) Conclusion:The Planned teaching program was effective in improving knowledgeregarding regarding Prevention of Parent to Child Transmission of HIV among ANM.
