摘要

Increased life expectancy among persons living with HIV (PLHIV) has increased the desire for parenthood. It is therefore important that PLHIV and health care providers (HCPs) are aware of the available assisted reproduction services (ARS) for PLHIV facing infertility or unsuppressed viremia. Through secondary data analysis we identified PLHIV who were actively trying to conceive and their knowledge of ARS. As specialized fertility care for PLHIV is managed by Obstetrician/Gynecologists (Ob/Gyns), they were surveyed regarding their attitudes towards working with PLHIV and their awareness and knowledge of ARS with a self-administered questionnaire. In this cross-sectional study, 251 PLHIV and 102 Ob/Gyns were recruited and interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. Although most Ob/Gyns (81%) reported being supportive of PLHIV having children, 85% counseled against pregnancy, particularly persons in HIV serodifferent relationships. Significantly more PLHIV under 40 years compared to those over 40 years had heard about ARS (59% vs. 43%, p = .007). Ob/Gyns were more knowledgeable of expensive ARS, while PLHIV's knowledge was more restricted to cheaper more accessible ones. In conclusion Ob/Gyns knowledge gaps and underlying stereotypes may present barriers to PLHIV's uptake of ARS. Additionally, virologically unsuppresed persons in HIV serodifferent relationships may be vulnerable as Ob/Gyns were less supportive of them.
