We investigated whether the intention to have children varied according to HIV status and use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) among women in Soweto, South Africa. Methods. We used survey data from 674 women aged 18 to 44 years recruited from the Perinatal HIV Research Unit in Soweto (May through December 2007) ; 217 were HIV-positive HAART users (median duration of use=31 months ; interquartile range=28,33), 215 were HIV-positive and HAART-naive, and 242 were HIV negative. Logistic regression models examined associations between HIV status, HAART use, and intention to have children. Results. Overall, 44% of women reported intent to have children, with significant variation by HIV status : 31% of HAART users, 29% of HAART-naive women, and 68% of HIV-negative women (P<. in adjusted models hiv-positive women were nearly less likely to report childbearing intentions compared with hiv-negative haart users odds ratio confidence interval for haart-naive aor="0.35" ci="0.21,0.60)," minimal differences according use or duration of haart. conclusions. integrated hiv and reproductive health services must be provided support the rights all safely achieve their fertility goals.>
