AB  - The purpose of this study was to investigate family planning needs, knowledge of 
      HIV transmission and HIV disclosure in a cohort sample that had undergone PMTCT 
      in a resource poor setting. Five public clinics implementing PMTCT from Qaukeni 
      Local Service Area, O.R. Tambo District in the Eastern Cape. The sample at 
      postnatal care consisted of 758 women with known HIV status. From 116 HIV 
      positive women 76.3% and from 642 HIV negative women 85.2% got counseling on safe 
      sex during pregnancy but only 65.8% and 62.3% of the women respectively practiced 
      safe sex during pregnancy, which did not differ by HIV status. Postnatally, 
      almost all women received counseling on family planning, yet use of 
      contraceptives and condoms were low. Among HIV positive women PMTCT knowledge and 
      younger age of the mother were associated with pregnancy desire, and among HIV 
      negative women HIV disclosure to the partner, younger age of the mother and 
      having a lower number of children were associated with pregnancy desire. High 
      pregnancy desires (yet lower than for HIV negative women); low contraceptive and 
      condom use were found among HIV positive women. HIV prevention and family 
      planning must acknowledge the reproductive desires of HIV positive women and men.
