OBJECTIVE: To describe reproductive hx of a cohort of HIV Ab+ women followed in a prospective study. METHODS: Pregnancy information on 43 HIV Ab+ women whose children are enrolled in a prospective study was obtained by interviewing mothers directly (n=30) or the child's guardian (n=13). Mean follow-up was 12 mo (range 2-20mo). RESULTS: Seven women had one subsequent pregnancy and 2 were pregnant twice. TABULAR DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. CONCLUSION: Despite counseling for risks associated with HIV, a high percent of HIV Ab+ women in this cohort became pregnant an average of 8mo after delivering an HIV Ab+ child. Future studies will need to address knowledge of HIV seropositivity and its impact on rate of pregnancy among women in a high risk area for HIV.
