      care in Mpumalanga province, South Africa: a longitudinal study.

AB  - INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to assess fertility intentions (planning to have 
      more children in the future) and associated factors among pregnant and postpartum 
      HIV positive women in rural South Africa. METHODS: In a longitudinal study, as 
      part of a prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) intervention trial, 
      699 HIV positive prenatal women, were systematically recruited and followed up at 
      6 months and 12 months postpartum (retention rate = 59.5%). RESULTS: At baseline, 
      32.9% of the women indicated fertility intentions and at 12 months postnatal, 120 
      (28.0%) reported fertility intentions. In longitudinal analyses, which included 
      time-invariant baseline characteristics predicting fertility intention over time, 
      not having children, having a partner with unknown/HIV-negative status, and 
      having disclosed their HIV status to their partner, were associated with 
      fertility intentions. In a model with time-varying covariates, decreased family 
      planning knowledge, talking to a provider about a future pregnancy, and increased 
      male involvement were associated with fertility intentions. CONCLUSION: Results 
      support ongoing perinatal family planning and PMTCT education.
