While the health benefits of antenatal care (ANC) utilisation for mothers and their infants have been well documented, very few studies have explored the association between mother‐to‐child transmission (MTCT) knowledge of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and mothers' utilisation of ANC in HIV endemic regions such as Cameroon. To address this void in the literature, we use the 2018 Cameroon Demographic and Health Survey to examine the association between mother's knowledge of MTCT of HIV and the three strands of ANC utilisation (i.e., number of ANC visits, timing to first ANC visit, and place of delivery). We found that women with adequate MTCT knowledge were more likely to have four to seven ANC visits (relative risk ratio [RRR] = 1.39, p
