令人惊讶的是,人们对艾滋病毒状况的了解如何或是否影响撒哈拉以南非洲地区生孩子的愿望知之甚少。本文利用了马拉维农村地区的独特情况,在作为一项正在进行的小组研究的一部分引入检测之前,没有人知道自己的艾滋病毒状况。我们使用 2001 年和 2006 年接受采访的男性和女性样本(n = 1,380)来研究艾滋病毒阳性和阴性检测结果如何影响受访者继续生育的愿望。然后我们考虑先前对一个人地位的看法如何影响这种效果。检测结果呈阳性的受访者降低了生育欲望。然而,当考虑自我评估的感染可能性时,只有那些对测试结果感到惊讶的人才会改变他们的生育偏好,这一发现对于阳性和阴性结果都适用。讨论了结果的影响以及对其他艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究的潜在应用。
Surprisingly little is known about how or if knowledge of one’s HIV status influences the desire to have children in sub-Saharan Africa. This paper takes advantage of a unique situation in rural Malawi where no one knew their HIV status prior to testing being introduced as part of an ongoing panel study. Using a sample of men and women (n = 1,380) who were interviewed in 2001 and 2006, we examine how HIV positive and negative test results impact respondents’ desires to continue childbearing. We then consider how prior perceptions of one’s status influence this effect. Respondents who received a positive test result reduced their childbearing desires. When self-assessed likelihood of infection was considered, however, only those who were surprised by their test result altered their fertility preferences, a finding which held true for both positive and negative results. The implications of the results and potential applications to other HIV/AIDS research are discussed.
