Item Motherhood and decision-making among women living with HIV in developed countries: A systematic review with qualitative research synthesis(BMC, 2021) Huertas-Zurriaga, Ariadna; Palmieri, Patrick A.; Edwards, Joan E.; Cesario, Sandra; Alonso-Fernandez, Sergio; Pardell-Dominguez, Lidia; Dominguez-Cancino, Karen A.; Leyva-Moral, Juan M.Background: Women living with HIV (WLH) lack evidence-based information about reproductive options while managing pressures from family, clinicians, and communities to give up the idea of having children. As the reproduction intentions of WLH are not well understood, stigmatizing behaviors force them to hide their disease to avoid rejection by their family, partner, and social networks. Compliance with social norms, fear of stigma, and discrimination influence their experience. Current research is individual qualitative studies lacking the synthesis perspective necessary to guide intervention development. The purpose of this study was to synthesize the evidence to explain the reproductive decision-making process for WLH in developed countries.
