Abstract

Every year increases the amount of people infected with AIDS in the world. The attention to the seropositive woman´s sexual and reproductive health is important to avoid mother-son transmission. This project was aimed to design a program in order to increase knowledges about pregnancy in seropositive women in fertile age in the municipality of Manzanillo, a quantitative-descriptive study of a cross section has been developed. The sample comprised 12 patients. A survey created by the authors of the present paper was applied to determine the level of motivation towards motherhood, as well as, to identify the level of knowledge about pregnancy. A statistical processing with absolute numbers and percents was carried out. Results are summarized in different table of contents. 75% of the HIV positive women have evidenced motivation towards maternity, and 100% of them have inadequate knowledge about matters related to pregnancy. HIV positive women in fertile age have prevailed in this research. Some of them have evidenced motivation towards maternity, and others have inadequate knowledge about matters related to pregnancy. An educative programme constituted of 9 sessions with animation, closing, educating for health and reflection is designed.
