Childbearing desire and reproductive behaviors among women living with HIV: A cross-sectional study in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

Introduction: Evidence on childbearing desire and reproductive behaviors in women living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART) is scarce, particularly in West Africa. We investigated the prevalence and associated factors of childbearing desire in HIV-infected women in care in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire and explored whether such desires were translated into behaviors related to contraceptive use and communication with health personnel.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in two HIV-care facilities in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire in 2015.
