The increased life expectancy and improved life quality of PLHIV in some regions and the fact that globally many PLHIV are of reproductive age has led to the consideration of issues related to safe pregnancy planning and other reproductive options. Despite the intentions and desires of many PLHIV to have children there remains a scarcity of safe pregnancy planning, conception, fertility and other reproductive options. Policies, guidelines, resources and access to these services vary amongst regions. The overall objectives of this workshop are to provide a comprehensive, multi-regional review of pregnancy planning and reproductive issues for PLHIV including current research and best practices from a variety of stakeholders.
