Pre-Conception
Interventions are needed to support the autonomous decision-making of HIV-positive women who are caught between the contradictory pressures of family, community and health care providers. Studies found that HIV-positive women and men need information and social support to make decisions that reflect their own preferences in the face of pressure to bear children. A review of the published literature from 1990 to 2008 found that the refusal of health workers to discuss reproductive options in a non-biased way negatively impacts HIV-positive women. Studies also found that HIV-positive men lacked information on pre-conception and felt they could not request this information from health providers.
