ABSTRACT: Background: Malaria, HIV and HBV continue to contribute to the burden of public health issues in pregnant women, they are contributory factor to significant fetal loss and anaemia and intra uterine fetal death in children born to mothers with these co-infections.

Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out among 400 pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at a private clinic. Respondents were selected using an interviewer administered questionnaire Results shows that out of the 400 pregnant women, 3 (0.8%) of the respondents were HBsAg positive and 5 (1.4%) were HIV positive. The respondents’ Iron supplementation adherence, dietary diversity, HIV status, HBV status and prevalence of malaria did not significantly influence the prevalence of anemia in pregnancy. The prevalence of malaria was 20 (5.2%) among the respondents. Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of Malaria with low prevalence of HBV and HIV among the studied population. In view of the public health importance of these infections, early treatment and introduction of vaccines against these infections particularly HBV is advocated
