RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence and factors associated with reproductive desire in a sample of women living with HIV/AIDS (WLHA) with serodiscordant partners. STUDY DESIGN: Between September 2015 and August 2016, a cross-sectional study was conducted among 110 WLHA from HIV/AIDS treatment services and non-governmental organizations. An interview was conducted using a structured questionnaire to collect sociodemographic data, reproductive desire, and potential predictor variables. Poisson regression was used to analyze the factors associated with reproductive desire in the sample. RESULTS: The prevalence of reproductive desire was 32.7% (95% Confidence Interval: % CI: 24.7-42.0%). In regression analysis, we observed an association between reproductive desire and the following variables: age < 30 years; relationship time < 2 years; reproductive desire for the partner; and absence of children. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of reproductive desire in the investigated sample was relatively high. Young age and reproductive desire for the partner were the main associated factors.
