Abstract

Abstract The purpose is to examine HIV/AIDS impact on fertility attitudes among women living with HIV/AIDS in a high HIV prevalent district in India. We used data from a cross-sectional survey conducted among randomly selected currently married HIV positive women, 15–29 years of age. As high as 68% of the women who are living with HIV/AIDS do not want to have another child. Surprisingly, about 17% of the women have never given birth to a child, and 43% among them do not want to have any children. Irrespective of age, education, occupation, place of residence, and caste, the above pattern remained the same. The main reason is that the respondents are afraid of HIV transmission to the baby while delivering. Hence, decision makers should develop strategies to enhance the capacity of the concerned service providers and greater accessibility and utilization of the services to the women living with HIV/AIDS.
艾滋病毒状况对印度卡纳塔克邦艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者生育态度的影响
摘要本研究的目的是研究在印度一个艾滋病毒高发区,艾滋病毒/艾滋病对感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的妇女生育态度的影响。我们使用了一项横断面调查的数据,该调查对15-29岁的已婚HIV阳性女性进行了随机选择 年龄。高达68%的感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的妇女不想再生一个孩子。令人惊讶的是,约17%的女性从未生过孩子,其中43%的女性不想生孩子。无论年龄、教育程度、职业、居住地和种姓如何,上述模式都保持不变。主要原因是受访者害怕在分娩时将艾滋病毒传染给婴儿。因此,决策者应制定战略,提高有关服务提供者的能力,并使艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染妇女更容易获得和利用这些服务。
