“…However, the risk of disclosure of the diagnostic condition may reinforce HIV as a sin, increasing responsibility for the acts and guilt for infection (1,15) .Closing the remoteness of many people from religious participation, hindering the relationship with God, by feeling of revolt with the serological condition, because they believe that the disease is a divine punishment (4,17) . For the HIV diagnostic time, it was noticed that the increase in the time of HIV infection would be related to the average increase in QoL, which can be justified by the increased experience of living and living with HIV, once that, although people see HIV/AIDS as a problem, over time the infection is seen as a learning situation (6,18) and may no longer adversely affect affective and sexual relationships.…”

Objetive: to understand the adherence to treatment of young adults with HIV/AIDS treated in a specialized care service from the perspective of complex thinking. Method: a qualitative study, with the data grounded theory approach. Twelve young adults aged from 15 to 24 years old living with HIV/AIDS, nine health professionals and four mothers participated in the study. Data was obtained from interviews conducted between April and September 2016 and analyzed using the constant comparative method. Results: the adherence to treatment of young adults with HIV/AIDS has been understood as a dynamic, multifactorial and constantly changing phenomenon. This process involves multiple aspects, including fear of becoming ill, physical and social death, discrimination and stigma. It was found that even in the face of these difficulties, young adults decide to continue their treatment in search of normalization of health, a long and common life like other young people who do not live with HIV/AIDS. Conclusion: it was considered that in view of the complex and changing phenomenon, adherence to treatment of young adults with HIV/AIDS should be understood and managed by health professionals.

“…Couples living with HIV maintain an active sexual and reproductive life. They often wish to start a family and have children [ 8 ] and view conception as an important component of their social status and their life together as a couple [ 8 – 9 ]. Furthermore, the fear of motherhood among WLWHA has diminished owing to the effectiveness of ART, which has increased the life expectancy and improved the physical and mental well-being of these women.…”

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence and examine the factors associated with reproductive desire among women living with HIV/AIDS (WLWHA) in Central Brazil.MethodsA cross-sectional study involving 274 WLWHA, aged 18 to 49 years, was conducted with the support of treatment services and non-governmental organizations that assist people living with HIV/AIDS. Data regarding sociodemographic characteristics, substance use, sexual behavior, and reproductive variables were collected through interviews. Poisson regression with robust variance was used to analyze the factors associated with reproductive desire.ResultsThe prevalence of reproductive desire was 25.9% (95.0% confidence interval [CI]: 21.1–31.4%). This outcome was associated with age < 30 years (adjusted prevalence ratio [APR]: 2.93; p < 0.001), black skin color or race (APR: 2.28; p = 0.017), partner's reproductive desire (APR: 7.55; p < 0.001), absence of children (APR: 2.13; p = 0.003), history of abortion (APR: 1.65; p = 0.045) and undetectable viral load at the time of data collection (APR: 1.92; p = 0.043).ConclusionThe prevalence of reproductive desire among WLWHA was relatively high. It is necessary to include fertility issues as part of assistance and counseling for women in referral services to support them with their feelings, goals, and needs regarding reproductive choices.
