 Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional institutional study was conducted amongst nurses, working at the Saudi maternity Hospital in Sudan. The data is collected by using a questionnaire designed for the study to collect the necessary data addressing knowledge, attitude, and factors associated with PMTCT services. Data analysis achieved by a statistical package for social science (SPSS) V 20, presented in figures and tables.
 Result: From the respondent's answers find the mode of transmissions more than half of the nurse's selected needle stick (51.2%), encouraging women for HIV test during the pregnancy (97.5%), more than two-thirds (67.5%) felt worried when they are caring pregnant women with HIV. On the other hand, (91.2%) of the respondents indicate a willingness to assist with the delivery of a baby born to a mother with HIV/AIDS.
