Societal attitudes toward sexual and reproductive rights of HIV-positive women in Iran: A nation-wide web-based survey.

The aim of the researchers was to assess the community attitudes toward sexual and reproductive rights of women living with HIV (WLWH) in Iran. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. A national web-based survey was used. A substantial portion of the respondents with a mean percentage of 68.5 ± 13.66 hold negative attitudes toward sexual and reproductive rights of WLWH. Being a female, having a 25-34 age and being a graduate and above were independent predictors of positive attitudes toward sexual and reproductive rights of WLWH. WLWH are faced with discriminatory attitudes in respect of their rights of childbearing and sexuality.
