Reproductive planning and pregnancy of HIV serodiscordant couples: a phenomenological study.
Revista gaucha de enfermagem(2023)
Abstract
OBJECTIVE:To understand the experience of reproductive planning and pregnancy for HIV serodiscordant couples.
METHOD:Qualitative study, with phenomenological approach, theoretical-philosophical-methodological framework of Martin Heidegger. The field stage took place in a reference service in the care for people living with HIV, in southern Brazil. From an intentional sample, a phenomenological interview was conducted with 11 couples between August 2013 and April 2014. The analysis was hermeneutic.
RESULTS:It was possible to understand, from the meaning units that: couples accept and overcome the serological discordance together; experiencing pregnancy is difficult; there is an effort to have a normal life; the diagnosis is silenced by prejudice and stigma; comes the couple's relief after the child's negative diagnosis.
CONCLUSION:It is necessary to recognize the couple as a unit of care with a view to a non-fragmented care in the field of sexual and reproductive health.
