Abstract

Objectives: To study the fertility desire and its associated factors among people living with the human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) and followed up at CHUD-B in 2019. Settings and methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study based on systematic recruitment of every PLHIV received in consultation at the internal medicine unit of the Departmental Teaching Hospital of Borgou (CHUD-B) of Parakou from March 1^st to September 30^th, 2019. Results: Over 442 PLHIV surveyed, more than half (55.66%) wanted to have a child. The average number of children they desired was 3. The desire was common to couples in 82.91% of cases and exposed couples to regular (61.27%) and unprotected (63.68%) sex. More than half of the respondents did not know their partner's HIV status and 39.60% had not informed their partner of their HIV status. The risks of mother-to-child and intra-partner transmission of HIV were known in 70.14% and 60.42% of cases, respectively. The factors associated with fertility desire were age (p=0.00), the number of children the patient had (p=0.00), the absence of HIV infection in the partner (p=0.052), regular sexual relations (p=0.00) and having a duration of antiretroviral treatment of between 1 and 5 years (p=0.082) Conclusion: It is imperative to take into account fertility desire in the follow-up of PLHIV to reduce the risks of mother-to-child and intra-partner transmission of HIV infection.
