MULHERES PORTADORAS DE HIV DIANTE DA MATERNIDADE: DIFICULDADES ENCONTRADAS – UMA REVISÃO BIBLIOGRÁFICA

This article aims to analyze, through a literature review, the main difficulties faced by women with HIV in the context of motherhood. The research seeks to understand the psychosocial, emotional and clinical challenges experienced from the desire to become pregnant to postpartum care, also addressing aspects related to prejudice and access to health services. The methodology adopted consisted of a narrative literature review, with a survey of scientific publications from the last 10 years in the SciELO, LILACS and PubMed databases, using descriptors such as “HIV”, “motherhood”, “HIV-positive women” and “difficulties”. The expected results indicate that, despite advances in the treatment and prevention of vertical transmission of HIV, many women still face social stigma, fear of rejection, insecurity about the baby's health and difficulties in accessing adequate prenatal care. It is concluded that there is a need for greater training of health professionals, expansion of inclusive public policies and educational actions that promote the acceptance and empowerment of women living with HIV during the motherhood process.
