“…This context leads to discussions about sexual and reproductive health and includes the problem arising from the diagnosis of HIV infection, which in turn, imposes the need for planning with use of biotechnologies, such as assisted human reproduction (AHR) (7) , how to protect sexual transmission (8) and prophylaxis of vertical transmission of the virus when the woman is HIV positive. There is also the need to know the couple's serostatus (9) -seroconcordant, when both live with HIV, or serodiscordant, when only one partner lives with the virus, among other facts.…”

Men’s sexual and reproductive health in the situation of HIV-serodiscordance

Objective: to know men’s perspective in face of reproduction in the situation of HIV-serodiscordance. Method: qualitative study developed in a university hospital in Southern Brazil. Unstructured in-depth interviews were conducted with 11 men living with HIV and a thematic content analysis was performed. Results: men expressed not wanting to have children and that this pregnancy was different. They showed concerns related to the vertical transmission of HIV, sexual and reproductive rights and responsibility in the exercise of parenthood. Final considerations: men’s perspective is influenced by their role in the family, which is historically and culturally determined, and by the concerns about infection, which are socially determined and entail their understanding of reproductive rights and their participation in care. In services, men’s perspective must be considered in the planning and implementation of health care actions by supporting their participation in the exercise of fatherhood.

“…This tends to favorably affect the exercise of sexuality and reproduction in the broadening of the perspective of the future and in personal investment in guiding projects of daily life (3) . At the beginning of the epidemic, infected women were discouraged from getting pregnant and were heavily censored by the health team, resulting in miscarriages or treatment discontinuation (4) .…”

“…Currently, there are technical possibilities available in health services for HIV-positive women who wish to become pregnant. In addition to the effectiveness of ARVT to reduce viral load, assisted reproductive offer is an option for seropositive or serodifferent couples (4) , although not fully available by the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS -Sistema Único de Saúde).…”

Motherhood and HIV: reproductive desire, ambivalent feelings and a/an (not) offered care

2019

Objective: To identify in the scientific literature the feelings of women living with HIV in relation to reproduction and motherhood, as well as the care provided by health professionals regarding reproductive health as a right. Method: Integrative review carried out in 2017, in the databases LILACS, PUBMED, BDENF and SciELO Virtual Library. We analyzed 30 articles. Results: As feelings, the motivation for reproduction and self-care, fears, uncertainties and hopes were evidenced. As care, services that support reproductive decisions were evidenced, but, predominantly, the disregard for the desire and care incipience for reproductive planning. Conclusion: There is no comprehensive and humanized work on the reproductive issues of these women, either through the neglect of the desire and viability of gestation or by the incipient care to the ambivalent emotional experiences. There is a need to qualify the care model in order to configure it, in fact, as care, aiming at guaranteeing reproductive rights.

Introduction:The serologies for HIV screening, hepatitis B and C and Zika virus are routine in infertility research.Objectives: To establish the seroprevalence of these viral infections in couples submitted to assisted reproduction and compare the seroprevalence of these infections in the group of patients who underwent intrauterine insemination or in-vitro fertilization.Methods: An retrospective analytical study with a survey of the cases of couples submitted to assisted human reproduction techniques carried out in a public institution (Human Reproduction Laboratory of the Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of Goias-LabRep (HC/UFG) and in a private clinic (Fertile), with serologies for the Zika virus, HIV, hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C, from July 2016 to July 2017.Results: 871 patients were evaluated, of which 186 were from LabRep-HC/UFG and 685 from Fertile Clinic. From the total number of patients analysed: 636 underwent IVF/ICSI treatment and 235 underwent IUI. Conclusion:There was no difference between the prevalence of the diseases analysed considering the sex and the type of clinic the patients belonged. The overall prevalence of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV and Zika was 0.57%, 0.57%, 0.46% and 0.23%, respectively. Considering the techniques of assisted reproduction, all cases of hepatitis B and C were from patients who underwent in-vitro fertilization/ intracytoplasmic injection in-vitro, with a statistically significant difference compared to couples who underwent intrauterine insemination. Comparing the two clinics where the couples performed the assisted reproduction treatments, there wasn't significant difference between the prevalence of the infections analysed. There was also no significant difference between the prevalence of the diseases surveyed when compared to the two clinics, for each treatment performed, whether high or low complexity.
