Abstract

Abstract The desires for marriage and fertility among people living with HIV (PLWH) are increasing worldwide because of improved treatment and prognosis; yet they remain understudied in China, which has a family-oriented culture. This study aimed to investigate these desires for marriage and fertility among Chinese PLWH and explore their correlates. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,504 Chinese PLWH to assess their desires for marriage, fertility, and other variables through an online questionnaire. Logistic regression models were used to analyze factors associated with desires for marriage and fertility. Among the 1,504 participants, 53.9% aspired to marry at 34.76 ± 5.26 years old, whereas 62.0% desired parenthood at 36.43 ± 5.11 years old. Factors associated with these desires included age, gender, residence, education level, HIV transmission route, CD4+ T-cell count, time since HIV diagnosis, disclosure of HIV status, social support, and mental health indicators.
