Abstract:
This article discusses the role of the practitioner in the pregnancy decision-making process of the HIV-infected woman. Literature on women's decisions is reviewed, and variables that influence decisions are discussed. The author concludes that HIV infection does not have a significant impact on pregnancy decisions. Other cultural and psychosocial variables may have more importance.
