ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to analyze the dynamics of ideology, power and language in the dominant discourses about childbearing by couples with HIV that were expressed by AIDS care professionals in Taiwan. Critical discourse analysis of the interview texts with 11 AIDS care professionals identified three prevailing discourses on childbearing by couples with HIV/AIDS pro-children, conditional pro-choice and pro-rights. The pro-children and conditional pro-choice were the predominant discourses. The two discourses both medicalized childbearing among couples with HIV/AIDS by identifying medical authorities as the proper persons to decide which reproductive choices people with HIV/AIDS should make under what conditions. Even though the pro-rights discourse embodied an ideology of individualism, empowerment and autonomy, it was weak and relatively rare in the other two discourses.
