Background: Pregnant and breastfeeding adolescents HIV-infected are a particularly vulnerable group that require special attention and enhanced support to achieve optimal maternal and infant outcomes. Aim: To find out the prevalence of pregnancy in adolescent living with HIV, review evidence about antenatal care (ANC) service delivery and outcomes for HIV-infected pregnant adolescents in Muhoroni Sub County. Setting: The study was conducted in Muhoroni Sub County, Kisumu County, Kenya. Method: Questionnaire was used on the total 98 girls who were on care at the Referral center containing the adolescents’ center which was Masogo sub-county hospital and Muhoroni County Hospital within the sub-county to obtained the results. Result: Of the 98 girls 25 (25.5%) hard pregnancy history in which 10 (10.2%) hard knowledge on PMTCT, while only 4 (4.1%) were having knowledge on PNS and lastly all the pregnant girls were having knowledge on both ANC and Drug adherence and only 10 (10.2%) pregnancy were planned while 15 (15.3%) were unplanned in which 10 (10.2%) pregnancy were aborted and 11 (11.2%) were delivered safely while 4 (4.1%) of the girls were currently pregnant. Conclusions: Reasons for the poor outcome among adolescents in ANC and PNS need to be further explored and addressed, there is enough evidence that immediate action is needed to address the unique needs of this population. Such changes could include integration of adolescent-friendly services into PMTCT settings and PNS among the HIV infected adolescents youths who are sexually active with enhanced retention and follow-up activities
