In this descriptive study, researchers examined pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and sexual behaviors among 67 HIV-infected young women, as well as the women's outcome expectancies and peer and partner norms regarding pregnancy. Many of the women (69%) had been pregnant; 42% had been pregnant at least once since learning their HIV status, with 71% choosing to carry to term, resulting in 25% (N = 5) of the babies infected. The women had positive outcome expectancies related to pregnancy, which were significantly correlated with peer and partner social norms. Lack of knowledge regarding infant transmission, high rates of STDs, and inconsistent condom use all indicate a need for improved intervention regarding pregnancy and decision-making. Suggestions for better methods of providing information to HIV+ young women are provided.
在这项描述性研究中，研究人员调查了67名感染艾滋病毒的年轻女性的怀孕情况、性传播疾病（STD）及性行为，以及这些女性对怀孕的预期结果、同伴和伴侣对怀孕的规范看法。许多女性（69%）曾怀孕；自得知感染艾滋病毒状况后，42%的女性至少怀孕过一次，其中71%选择足月分娩，导致25%（N = 5）的婴儿感染。这些女性对怀孕有积极的预期结果，且与同伴和伴侣的社会规范显著相关。对婴儿传播缺乏了解、性传播疾病高发以及避孕套使用不一致，都表明需要改进针对怀孕和决策的干预措施。文中还提供了向感染艾滋病毒的年轻女性提供信息的更好方法的建议。
