The objective of this study was to determine how a positive HIV diagnosis influences fertility desires and reproductive decisions for women and men living in western Uganda. HIV-positive individuals in the Kabarole region have a much greater desire to stop childbearing than their HIV-negative counterparts. The barriers to utilizing family planning services, as evidenced through the very low use of highly effective contraceptive methods, have to be jointly addressed by HIV/AIDS care/prevention and family planning programs.
