During the COVID-19 pandemic, antenatal care (ANC) clinics monitored pregnant women for HIV testing as part of a surveillance program for the virus, especially in the lockdown period (2020–2021) worldwide. To guide community-wide HIV interventions and prevent mother-to-child transmission, studies on the demographics of expectant mothers who test positive for HIV can be used as proxies. During the COVID-19 epidemic, we planned to examine HIV testing among pregnant women receiving antenatal. Overall, no demographic factors were discovered to be significantly linked to HIV prevalence. However, studies on demographic traits, past HIV testing, and the COVID-19 pandemic found that young, less educated, primigravida, rural, and low socioeconomic level women comprised most of those who underwent tests. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a correlation between age, education level, employment position, parity, and HIV testing among pregnant women.
