The impact of antenatal HIV diagnosis on postpartum childbearing desires in northern Tanzania: A mixed methods study
2012, Reproductive Health MattersCitation Excerpt :Such views need challenging not just in relation to HIV, but also as part of a wider effort to secure reproductive rights for all women. In light of the numerous factors that HIV-positive women may consider in childbearing decision-making, it is imperative that antenatal HIV counseling and any subsequent contraceptive counseling take into account each woman's individual circumstances with regard to her marital status, HIV disclosure status and wider societal expectations.25,26 Other studies have shown that if counselors respond negatively to the prospect of HIV-positive women having children or even being sexually active, this may alienate women who want another child, as well as women who want to use hormonal contraception to avoid pregnancy, potentially resulting in unwanted pregnancies and unnecessary risk-taking with regards to HIV transmission to partners and children.27,28
