AB  - This study aimed to assess sexual risk behaviour and its social correlates in 
      HIV-infected women living in rural South Africa at six and twelve months 
      post-partum. Participants were 699 HIV-positive women recruited prenatally by 
      systematic sampling from twelve community health centres in Mpumalanga province, 
      South Africa (mean age = 28.4 years, SD = 5.7; married =41.1%; serodiscordant or 
      unknown partner status = 74.9%). They self-reported on their sexual activity six 
      to twelve months after delivery; including use of condoms and partner 
      involvement. Generalised linear mixed models were utilised to estimate unsafe sex 
      outcomes from a prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) intervention, 
      socio-demographic factors, disclosure, and male involvement. About 20% of 
      sexually active women in the past week had used condoms inconsistently at six and 
      twelve months after delivery. Moreover, 16% and 18% of the women had not used a 
      condom at last sex and 11% and 13% had unprotected sex with HIV-uninfected or 
      unknown-status partners following delivery at six and twelve months, 
      respectively. Higher inconsistent condom use was likely with lower male 
      involvement. Promotion of condom use post-partum, as well as male involvement in 
      sexual decisions, are important for safer sex post-partum by seropositive women.
