Women with HIV have much the same reasons to have children or to prevent pregnancy as everyone else, but they have important additional issues to consider. These women’s health care providers have the responsibility to help them make well-informed and well-considered choices and carry out their decisions with the least risk. This report helps ffamily planning and HIV providers:
--Understand how HIV affects women’s reproductive health and childbearing decisions.
--Learn the latest, evidence-based information to help women with HIV think through their family planning choices.
--Inform women with HIV who are thinking about having children of the risks of transmitting HIV to the infant and/or uninfected partner and how they can reduce these risks.
