ABSTRACT
Eighty percent of women with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are of childbearing age and the incidence of HIV in women is rapidly increasing. Despite the risk of perinatal transmission and The Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) recommendation that HIV-positive women delay pregnancy, HIV-infected women continue to become pregnant and have children. To gain insight into reproductive decision-making of women with HIV, 25 mothers who participated in a natural history study of perinatal HIV transmission were interviewed using open-ended questions based on Fishbein's Theory of Reasoned Action. Three major themes emerged from the content analysis of transcripts from interviews with HIV infected women (1) motherhood viewed as a joy and a means of meeting their own needs, (2) concerns about their children's well-being, and (3) the minor role of HIV infection in their lives. Women reported negative reactions to providers who focused exclusively on their HIV status, and not on the need to view the women's lives as a whole.
