Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS eSMkR0x0. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This study investigated the impact of HIV voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) on reproduction planning among 1634 adults in 2 sub-Saharan countries. Methods. Data were obtained from a multisite randomized controlled trial. Results. At 6 months post-VCT, the women more likely to be pregnant were younger (odds ratio [OR]=2.5 ; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.0,6.5), not using contraceptives (OR=0.1 ; 95% CI=0.1,0.3), and HIV infected (OR=3.0 ; 95% CI=1.3,7.0). An interaction emerged linking pregnancy intention at baseline and HIV serostatus with pregnancy at follow-up (OR=0.1 ; 95% CI=0,0.4) Partner pregnancy rates did not differ by HIV serostatus among men. Conclusions. HIV diagnosis may influence reproduction planning for women but not for men.
