Abstract:
Anxiety and the willingness to undergo ART was assessed by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and by trade-off at increasing hypothetical HIV-1 transmission risks in fifty serodiscordant couples undergoing intrauterine inseminations as a risk-reduction strategy. Both men and women displayed high state anxiety levels, but despite their anxiety, women were prepared to take high risks to fulfill their desire for a child.
