[Meeting contraceptive needs of HIV-positive women: effect on elimination of vertical transmission of HIV].
Pan American Journal of Public Health 2016 December
Nearly 38% of unplanned pregnancies occur because of unmet contraceptive needs. In HIV-positive women, these figures triple, a phenomenon explained by social determinants such as poverty, access to health services, violence, and forced displacement, all of which are frequent elements in the lives of these women. Unplanned pregnancies represent a psychological burden related to women's fear of transmitting the infection to their children, orphanhood, and assuming risks during pregnancy, in addition to family and social consequences that are expressed in lack of prenatal care, neglect of their health, and an increased likelihood of vertical transmission. Technical assistance for differentiated contraception counseling integrated into HIV care and control services is basic to achieving short- and medium-term elimination of vertical transmission of HIV. These women's characteristics are different from those of the general population, as expressed in their reproductive lives, desires, and intentions regarding motherhood; and their unplanned pregnancies represent a greater psychological, social, and economic burden than that of other women. Recognizing this would allow contraception counseling to be provided by HIV care and follow-up programs, in the same place and time, with trained personnel, capable of understanding and meeting their reproductive needs within a rights-based framework, ensuring that health systems, based on the responsibility they have to society, would be capable of offering quality reproductive care counseling, aimed at meeting the specific needs of HIV-positive women.
