Female sex workers (FSWs) living with HIV are a vulnerable population for multiple health concerns and have been vastly understudied in public health literature. This study analyzes factors related to pregnancy among 268 FSWs living with HIV in the Dominican Republic. Results indicate that 34 % of participants had been pregnant since HIV diagnosis. Multivariate analysis revealed significant associations between pregnancy after HIV diagnosis and ART interruption (AOR 2.41; 95 % CI 1.19, 4.94), knowledge of mother-to-child transmission (AOR 2.12; 95 % CI 0.99, 4.55), serostatus disclosure to a sex partner (AOR 2.46; 95 % CI 1.31, 4.62), older age (AOR 0.91; 95 % CI 0.87, 0.95) and a more negative perception of their health provider (AOR 0.56; 95 % CI 0.34, 0.93). Results indicate noteworthy associations between having been pregnant and the health provider experience and ART interruption, indicating a significant need for further research on this population to ensure both maternal and child health.
感染艾滋病毒的女性性工作者是面临多种健康问题的弱势群体,而公共卫生文献对她们的研究极为不足。本研究分析了多米尼加共和国268名感染艾滋病毒的女性性工作者中与怀孕相关的因素。结果显示,34%的参与者自确诊艾滋病毒以来曾怀孕。多变量分析揭示了艾滋病毒诊断后怀孕与抗逆转录病毒治疗中断(调整后比值比2.41;95%置信区间1.19,4.94)、母婴传播知识(调整后比值比2.12;95%置信区间0.99,4.55)、向性伴侣披露血清学状态(调整后比值比2.46;95%置信区间1.31,4.62)、年龄较大(调整后比值比0.91;95%置信区间0.87,0.95)以及对其医疗服务提供者的负面看法较多(调整后比值比0.56;95%置信区间0.34,0.93)之间存在显著关联。结果表明怀孕与医疗服务提供者体验及抗逆转录病毒治疗中断之间存在值得关注的关联,这表明迫切需要对该人群开展进一步研究,以确保母婴健康。
