Despite rhetorical attention there is little programmatic guidance as to how best to ensure that women and men living with HIV have access to sexual and reproductive health services that help them realise their reproductive goals, while ensuring their human rights. A dynamic relationship exists between the manner in which health services and programmes are delivered, and the individuals who seek these services. A review of the literature shows clear gaps and highlights areas of concern not yet sufficiently addressed. The delivery and use of health services and programmes is shaped by the underlying determinants of people's access to and use of these services, the health systems in place at community and country level, and the legal and policy environment these systems operate in. Few governments can provide the full range of services that might be required by their populations. In most places, people access health services from a variety of formal and informal providers, and health-related behaviour is influenced from many directions. The synergistic roles of health systems, law and policy and underlying social determinants in helping or hindering the development and delivery of adequate programmes and services for HIV positive people must be addressed.RésuméMalgré une attention rhétorique, il existe peu de conseils sur la meilleure manière de garantir l'accès des hommes et des femmes vivant avec le VIH aux services de santé génésique qui les aideront à réaliser leurs objectifs de procréation, tout en respectant leurs droits humains. Une relation dynamique existe entre la manière dont les services de santé et les programmes sont assurés et les individus qui recherchent ces services. Une étude des publications montre clairement des lacunes et dégage des domaines insuffisamment abordés. Les prestations des services et programmes de santé et le recours à ceux-ci sont façonnés par les facteurs sous-jacents qui déterminent l'accès des personnes à ces services et l'utilisation qu'elles en font, les systèmes de santé en place aux niveaux communautaire et national, et l'environnement juridique et politique dans lequel ces systèmes fonctionnent. Peu de gouvernements peuvent offrir tous les services qui seraient nécessaire à la population. En général, les patients ont accès aux services de santé par le biais de différents prestataires formels et informels, et le comportement sanitaire est influencé par de nombreuses orientations. Il faut s'intéresser à la synergie des systèmes de santé, de la législation et des politiques, et des déterminants sociaux sous-jacents qui aide ou entrave le développement et la prestation de programmes et services appropriés pour les personnes séropositives.ResumenPese a la atención retórica, no existe mucha orientación programática en cuanto a la mejor forma de garantizar que las mujeres y los hombres que viven con VIH tengan acceso a servicios de salud sexual y reproductiva que les ayuden a realizar sus objetivos reproductivos, a la vez que garantizan sus derechos humanos. Existe una relación dinámica entre la forma en que los servicios y programas de salud son proporcionados y los usuarios. Una revisión del material publicado muestra las brechas y resalta las áreas preocupantes que no han sido tratadas lo suficiente. La prestación y el uso de servicios y programas de salud es definida por los determinantes de la accesibilidad y uso de estos servicios, los sistemas de salud en el nivel comunitario y nacional, y el ambiente jurídico y normativo en el cual funcionan estos sistemas. Pocos gobiernos pueden proporcionar la gama completa de servicios que pueda necesitar la población. En la mayoría de los lugares, las personas acceden a los servicios de salud por medio de una variedad de prestadores de servicios oficiales y extraoficiales, y el comportamiento relacionado con la salud es influenciado desde muchas direcciones. Es imperativo tratar las funciones sinérgicas de los sistemas de salud, derecho y políticas y los determinantes sociales implícitos en ayudar o perjudicar la creación y prestación de programas y servicios adecuados para las personas seropositivas
