  abstract = {{T}he aim of this paper is to determine the differences of fertility between {HIV}-1 infected and uninfected women in {A}bidjan, {C}{\^o}te d'{I}voire, using data available in an observational study conducted in 1995 and 1996 in 2 antenatal care centres in the district of {Y}opougon, {A}bidjan, within an intervention programme to reduce mother-to-child {HIV}-1 transmission ({DITRAME} project, {ANRS} 049). {F}ertility indicators have been constructed from retrospective data on pregnancies and births, and univariate and multivariate analyses have been performed on these indicators and stratified by age groups to compare {HIV}-1 positive and {HIV}-negative populations. {T}he main outcome measures were the number of pregnancies, the number of miscarriages, the risk of miscarriage and the proportion of primigravida. {F}our thousand, three hundred and ninety-six women had significanlty fewer pregnancies than {HIV}-negatives in age-groups 25-29 ({P}=0.05) and 30-34 ({P}=0.008). {T}he risk of having had at least one abortion or stillbirth was significantly higher for {HIV}-1 infected women than for {HIV}-negatives ({OR}=1.28, 95% {C}l : 1.02-1.60), when controlling for social and demographic factors. {T}his study suggests that {HIV}-1 infection has deleterious consequences on female fertility, with lower fertility rates and more frequent adverse pregnancy outcomes. {F}amily planning and antenatal care services should consider antenatal {HIV} counselling and testing in women in areas of high {HIV} prevalence.
