Popis: Background Knowledgeable Health Care Workers (HCWs) are indispensable for the proper management of clients. We investigated retention of HCWs at health facility and retention of knowledge at 18, 24 and 36 months after training and correlates for retention of knowledge at 3rd year. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1000 HCWs, 710 were trained and 290 untrained working at the PMTCT of HIV services in health facilities of the ten regions of Cameroon. A Multiple Choice Questionnaire (MCQ) on HIV management with focus on PMTCT of HIV was used to assess retention of HCWs at the health facility and retention of knowledge. Summary statistics described mean scores for retention of HCWs and retention of knowledge. One-way Analysis of Variance summarized the differences in retention of knowledge over time after training. Correlates for retention of knowledge were investigated by logistic regression analysis. Results The retention of HCWs at health facilities in PMTCT of HIV services was 85%. Trained HCWs had higher mean scores for retention of knowledge than untrained HCWs, p
