Delivery of the women-centred HIV care model in Canadian HIV clinics
The Women-Centred HIV Care (WCHC) Model addresses women living with HIV's multifaceted healthcare needs, but its delivery remains unclear. This environmental scan examines the delivery of the WCHC Model in Canadian HIV clinics. Clinics were surveyed on health service delivery, then scored out of 10 in the six domains of the WCHC Model using a service-based score system. Generally, on-site services were assigned more value than off-site referrals.…
Comparing fertility clinic care for individuals and couples living with and affected by HIV and in Canada from 2014 to 2023
Access to fertility care, particularly medically assisted conception (MAC), is a reproductive justice concern for individuals with HIV. This longitudinal study investigates MAC access for people with HIV in Canada. Surveys were distributed to medical and laboratory directors from 58 fertility clinics across nine provinces. Responses were initiated by 24/89 (27.0%) participants, representing 19/58 (32.8%) clinics in 7 provinces. Complete responses…
Practices, support and stigma related to infant feeding and postpartum engagement in care among women living with HIV in Canada
Background: Breastfeeding is not recommended for women living with HIV (WLWH) in Canada. We described the prevalence of breastfeeding and explored experiences of care, support, and stigma related to infant feeding. Setting: Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia (Canada). Methods: Data were obtained from the HIV Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health Cohort Study (CHIWOS) surveys, conducted between 2013 and 2018. Results: Breastfeeding was reporte…
An exploration of the fertility desires and intentions of men living with HIV in Ontario, Canada
Planning families is an important issue within the HIV community. The primary objective of this study was to explore the fertility desires and intentions of men living with HIV (MLWH). A cross-sectional survey containing 77 questions in 10 domains was developed, validated and administered to MLWH. The sample was stratified by sexual orientation, ethnicity, and city of residence. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine sociodemogr…
Pathways from Relative Deprivation to Individual Violence
Criminological studies assert that individuals’ psychological cognition and emotional resentment mediate the effect of economic deprivation on individual violence; however, a limited number of studies have empirically addressed these subjective mediations. Furthermore, the effect of relative deprivation in Asian counties is seldom investigated. To fill this gap, we construct theoretical path models and examine the argument of relative deprivation…
“I Just didn’t Think they Would Because of My Status…”
There is limited research exploring the experiences of people living with HIV (PLWH) who have pursued/successfully adopted children. We aimed to gain a deeper understanding of such experiences by analyzing six interviews with PLWH using thematic analysis. In this paper, we highlight three themes: Understanding the Adoption Process, Desire for Caseworker-Client Transparency, and Framing Health and Wellbeing. While most of the findings are relevant…
Loneliness and perceived social support in pregnancy and early postpartum of mothers living with HIV in Ontario, Canada
The HIV Mothering Study (n = 72) was a prospective, observational, cohort study exploring psychosocial experiences and needs of WLWHIV in pregnancy and postpartum. We performed quantitative analysis of determinants of loneliness (UCLA Loneliness Scale) and lower perceived social support (SS) (Medical Outcomes Study-Social Support Survey). The hypothesized determinants included: age, years with HIV, racism (Everyday Discrimination Scale), depressi…
Previous experiences of pregnancy and early motherhood among women living with HIV
Previous maternity experiences may influence subsequent reproductive intentions and motherhood experiences. We used latent class analysis to identify patterns of early motherhood experience reported for the most recent live birth of 905 women living with HIV enrolled in the Canadian HIV Women's Sexual and Reproductive Health Cohort Study (CHIWOS). Four indicators were used: difficulties getting pregnant, feelings when finding out pregnancy, feeli…
Haunted by the Lady Novelist
This paper argues that the development of the identity of the professional woman writer as a ‘lady novelist’ in the mid-eighteenth century has had a lasting and detrimental impact on the status of women's writing that lingers through to the present, particularly in the critical discourse surrounding chick lit. The first part of this paper discusses the figure of the lady novelist and traces her centrality to criticisms of women's writing from the…
Access to fertility services in Canada for HIV-positive individuals and couples
In the modern era of HIV care, a multitude of clinical needs have emerged; one such need is the growing sub-specialty of HIV and reproductive health. In 2007, a study surveying Canadian fertility clinics found limited access to fertility services for HIV-positive patients. Given the extensive efforts made to address this lack of services, a follow-up assessment was warranted. This study aimed to compare the access to Canadian fertility clinics an…
Access and engagement in HIV care among a national cohort of women living with HIV in Canada
Attrition along the cascade of HIV care poses significant barriers to attaining the UNAIDS targets of 90-90-90 and achieving optimal treatment outcomes for people living with HIV. Understanding the correlates of attrition is critical and particularly for women living with HIV (WLWH) as gender disparities along the cascade have been found. We measured the proportion of the 1425 WLWH enrolled in the Canadian HIV Women's Sexual and Reproductive Heal…
Envisioning Women-Centered HIV Care
Chick Noir
In early 2014, several articles appeared proclaiming the rise to prominence of a new subgenre of the crime novel: “chick noir,” which included popular books like Gone Girl, The Silent Wife, and Before We Met. However, there was also resistance to the new genre label from critics who viewed it as belittling to women’s writing and to female-focused narratives. Indeed, the separation of female-centred books - whether “chick lit” or “chick noir” - fr…
HIV and infant feeding in resource-rich settings
With advances in the care of HIV-positive pregnant women, the likelihood of perinatal transmission is now less than 1%. In resource-rich settings women are instructed to abstain from breastfeeding, as studies have shown that breastfeeding increases the likelihood of infant acquisition of HIV. As practitioners caring for HIV-positive parents, we are now facing growing tension about the complex issues that inform decisions about infant feeding. In …
Assessing access for prospective adoptive parents living with HIV
Work has been underway to increase the availability of parenting options for people living with and affected by HIV. One option, adoption, has not yet been explored in the literature. The study aimed to gain a better understanding of the potential of adoption for individuals/couples living with HIV in Ontario, and to assess potential structural barriers or facilitators that may impact their experience navigating the adoption system by conducting …
The importance of motherhood in HIV-positive women of reproductive age in Ontario, Canada
Motherhood is personally, culturally, and historically rooted. Recent publications have focused on medical issues related to pregnancy and HIV, with attention on fetal well-being. There is limited literature on the importance of motherhood for HIV-positive women. Our study's purpose was to investigate the importance of motherhood among HIV-positive women of reproductive age in Ontario, Canada and to analyze the correlates thereof. We present our …
