But as for having children, I think it is a very difficult problem for me. I wonder if any child I deliver will not be like me, That is the reason why I would prefer to adopt a child whom I can raise together with my partner. (Participant FGD-1)

Though I no longer think of it, I sometimes wonder if I will get married and my child will have the same problem I have [HIV-infected] and also suffer in this world. With my child asking me ‘what's up mum?’ Always troubling me. Or, will I get married and keep relaxing only with my husband without having children?

I would like to convince [another participant] that she should get married, because it is written in the Bible ‘have children and multiply’. God did not say ‘do not get married’! Thus, she has to create and idea of her future in her mind, without considering that the child may also get sick. (Participants FGD-2) |

…since this protection [PMTCT] is possible today, there is no reason to say we will not have children…there is a possibility for a mother to give birth to an uninfected child, I think that when it's time for us to have children there will be more possibilities. I think there is no reason of not having children. (Participant FGD-2) |
