Abstract

The arrival of a new family member in an African context is a source of immense joy and a sign of social maturity. But for these pregnant women, the announcement that they are HIV-positive, i.e. the start of a chronic pathology, is a psychosocial shock that needs to be dealt with and supported. In most cases, these women allow their health to deteriorate rapidly, or even die if nothing is done to help them regain control of their daily lives. It is essential for pregnant women infected with HIV to bounce back, and once they have been triggered, they will have to rebuild their lives from the inside out, as well as from the outside. This transformation must take place in order to ensure the family's daily activities. The lack of real information on the logic of resilience in Cameroon in the field of prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) option B+, makes HIV a public health problem with a partially existing solution. The aim of this literature review is to take stock of empirical and scientific knowledge on resilience logics. Searches were carried out between 2019 and 2020 in the HINARI, PubMed, EMBASE, AIM, Google Scholar and WHO Digital Publications databases. The keywords, resilience, PMTCT option B+, and actor logics were used. 27 qualitative studies, 17 quantitative studies and 06 mixed studies, grouped into 06 books, 01 thesis and 43 journal articles, resulted in an average PMTCT retention rate of 61.61%. The personal, interpersonal, community and structural logics, grouped into risk factors and protective factors, found conflicting, interacting, common and conciliating logics with a profound interdependence in the field of PMTCT management option B+. The synergy between protective factors and reconciliatory approaches could enable countries with a high prevalence of transmission to eradicate PMTCT by 2030.
