- Abstract: Introduction: People living with HIV/AIDS (PWAIDS) desire to have children and do have them. The debate about fertility options for PWAIDS has not been sufficiently addressed by health care providers. Rare studies have addressed HIV-positive men in this regard, enabling analysis of gender differences.Objectives: To describe attitudes toward future parenthood and to identify predictors of the desire to have children of a sample of PWAIDS attending two specialised AIDS care centres in São Paulo-Brazil, where antiretrovirals are freely and universally distributed. Methods: A consecutive sample of 729 women and 250 bisexual or heterosexual men answered a questionnaire concerning demographic characteristics, attitudes towards parenthood, length of time since diagnosis, sexual and reproductive history, current use of antiretrovirals, evaluation of provided reproductive health care and counselling and antecipation of physicians\2019 reactions to parenthood desires of PWAIDS. Prevalence of the outcome (desire to have children) was estimated among men and women and associated factors sought after using a multivariable logistic regression model.Results: 27.9% participants reported desire to have children. Among men this proportion was 50.1% in contrast to 19.2% of women. Bisexual men were more likely to desire to have biological children. Variables shown independently associated with desire to have children included: younger age, sex (male), having no children, living with one or two children and having a heterosexual partner. People with lower or ignored income were less likely to desire to have children. MTCT knowledge was significantly lower among men. Conclusions: In contrast with previous studies in developed countries, this study demonstrated significant differences between men and women. Desire may be stronger among men, but usually parenthoodis integrated as a female issue in most health services. Access to moral free objective information about reproductive options and rights, and male involvement in reproductive health care are important challenges for the organisation of services.
