Abstract: In Brazil, an increasing proportion of new HIV infections and AIDS cases involve women of reproductive age. To describe the reproductive desire of women with HIV/AIDS and to identify factors associated with the desire for motherhood, a cross-sectional study was carried out in the referral hospital for infectious diseases in Ceará State, northeast Brazil. In total, 229 women were included in data analysis. Median age was 32 years (interquartile range, 26-37), and 63% had a monthly family income of less than 210… Show more

“…Health workers' dual loyalty pressures (professional and community member), attitudes and values, could be a possible explanation. These findings are similar to previous studies conducted among PLWH and with both PLWH and health workers by Harries et al, [53], Nóbrega et al, [37], and Orner et al [54]. Cultural differences between a provider and a patient can pose serious challenges to effective communication, especially if one holds negative attitude towards the other's cultural beliefs or if the two differ in their communicative preferences and expectations for the consultation [55].…”

“…Health workers continue stigmatizing CLWH who access sexual and reproductive health services. Similar findings have also been noted by Agadjanian and Hayford, [13], Cooper et al, [35], BeyezaKashesya et al, [36], Newmeyer et al, [15], and Nóbrega et al, [37]. We are aware that if the finding is ignored, it raises biomedical concerns about the risk of HIV super infection, viral recombination, and transmission of drug-resistant virus in cases where unprotected sex is practiced.…”

“…O sonho de ser mãe é evidenciado independente do status sorológico de HIV e do número de filhos, antes ou após o diagnóstico da infecção. Aproximadamente 40% das mulheres HIV positivas do Nordeste do Brasil expressam desejo de ter filhos, independente da fase da doença (20) . De acordo com estudo avaliado desse sentimento, muitas mulheres tiveram esse desejo inter-rompido, pois a doença foi a razão para esterilização (laqueadura tubária) após o parto em mais da metade daquelas com diagnóstico do HIV.…”

“…Previous studies investigating fertility desires have shown that, like the general population, PLHIV desire to have children despite their HIV status (Chama et al 2007;Chen et al 2001;Nobrega et al 2007;Panozzo et al 2003;Wesley 2003). More than a quarter of a nationally representative sample of PLHIV in the USA desired to have more children, with over fifty percent of both women and men expecting to have one or more children in the future (Chen et al 2001).…”

“…In the United States, 30% of HIV-infected women in Ohio State (Craft et al 2007), 55% of PLHIV in Louisiana (Bedimo-Rung et al 2005) and 40% of PLHIV from the Southern USA states of Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina had been pregnant since their HIV diagnosis. In Brazil, 15% of HIV-infected women had at least one child post diagnosis (Nobrega et al 2007). In a cohort study of 306 HIV positive women in Burkina Faso, the incidence of pregnancy was similar to the general population, despite the women having received counselling against pregnancy and provision of family planning services (Nebie et al 2001).…”
