Background: Survival and quality of life of people living with HIV (PLWH) have been improving. Understanding fertility intention among PLWH is critical in helping them accomplish their pregnancy goals while significantly lowering the risk of HIV transmission. The purpose of this study was to identify factors based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) that may explain fertility intention among PLWH. Methods: A survey was conducted in face-to-face interviews based on TPB, and the latent variables were devised and tested for their potential influences on fertility intentions in 487 reproductive-aged PLWH at antiretroviral treatment clinics in Kunming, China. Analysis was mainly based on the structural equation model. Results: About 38.4% of the respondents answered that they were likely to have a/another child in the next three years. Our hypothesized factors could explain 53.7% of the total variance of fertility intention. The 20- to 35-year-old group had a higher fertility intention. Perceived partner expectations toward fertility were the strongest predictors of fertility intention followed by beliefs in the support of the two-child policy. In contrast, the three components of attitudes, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control did not influence fertility intention. Conclusion: In this HIV endemic area of China, fertility intended by PLWH is a matter of the couple that is also influenced by the national population fertility policy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
