更安全的受孕干预措施减少艾滋病毒发病率,同时支持艾滋病毒感染者或受艾滋病毒影响者的生殖目标。我们制定了共识声明来解决需求,总结科学,识别信息差距,概述研究和政策优先事项,并倡导更安全的概念服务。这一声明来自一个包含会议协商的过程,文学,和关键利益相关者。三位共同作者制定了一个大纲,并与共同作者进行了讨论和修改,工作组成员,和额外的临床,政策,以及更安全概念的社区专家,艾滋病毒,和生育能力。共同作者和工作组成员开发并批准了最终手稿。跨需求主题的共识,更安全的概念策略,并确定了实施。需要更安全的概念服务。由于对有孩子的PLWH的污名化和对提供者知识的限制,访问受到限制。功效,有效性,安全,可接受性数据支持一系列更安全的概念策略,包括ART,PrEP,将无套性生活限制在最高生育率,家庭授精,男性包皮环切术,性传播感染治疗,以夫妇为基础的艾滋病毒检测,精液加工,和生育保健。缺乏指导方针和培训限制了实施。确定了每个主题中的关键未决问题。消费者需求,科学数据,和减少艾滋病毒发病率的全球目标支持更安全的概念服务实施。我们建议提供者向受艾滋病毒影响的男性和女性提供服务,和项目管理员将更安全的概念护理纳入艾滋病毒和生殖健康项目。对悬而未决的问题的答案将改进服务,但不应该阻碍使人们能够采取更安全的概念策略来实现生殖目标的步骤。
Safer conception interventions reduce HIV incidence while supporting the reproductive goals of people living with or affected by HIV. We developed a
consensus statement to address demand, summarize science, identify information gaps, outline research and policy priorities, and advocate for safer conception services. This statement emerged from a process incorporating consultation from meetings, literature, and key stakeholders. Three co-authors developed an outline which was discussed and modified with co-authors, working group members, and additional clinical, policy, and community experts in safer conception, HIV, and fertility. Co-authors and working group members developed and approved the final manuscript.
Consensus across themes of demand, safer conception strategies, and implementation were identified. There is demand for safer conception services. Access is limited by stigma towards PLWH having children and limits to provider knowledge. Efficacy, effectiveness, safety, and acceptability data support a range of safer conception strategies including ART, PrEP, limiting condomless sex to peak fertility, home insemination, male circumcision, STI treatment, couples-based HIV testing, semen processing, and fertility care. Lack of
guidelines and training limit implementation. Key outstanding questions within each theme are identified. Consumer demand, scientific data, and global goals to reduce HIV incidence support safer conception service implementation. We recommend that providers offer services to HIV-affected men and women, and program administrators integrate safer conception care into HIV and reproductive health programs. Answers to outstanding questions will refine services but should not hinder steps to empower people to adopt safer conception strategies to meet reproductive goals.
