This article reports on the influence of HIV on sexual relations and childbearing decisions of 36 HIV-discordant couples, 26 in South Africa and 10 in Tanzania, recruited into an exploratory study through hospital antiretroviral treatment clinics and civil society organisations working with people living with HIV. Self-administered questionnaires were used to obtain social and demographic information, while couples' sexual relations and childbearing decisions were explored through in-depth, semi-structured individual and couple interviews. The majority of the HIV-positive partners were women, who were on antiretroviral treatment. Almost one-third of South African respondents and half of those in Tanzania reported experiences of tension related to HIV-discordance, while more than half of the South Africans and almost three-quarters of the Tanzanians reported that intimacy had been affected by their discordant status. Those without children were more likely to desire children (17/23) than those who already had children (16/44), although this desire was influenced by fear of HIV transmission to the negative partner and medical professional advice. The study points to the need for targeted information for HIV discordant couples, as well as couple counselling and support services.RésuméL'article décrit l'influence du VIH sur les relations sexuelles et la décision d'avoir ou non un enfant chez 36 couples sérodiscordants, 26 en Afrique du Sud et 10 en République-Unie de Tanzanie ; ils ont été recrutés dans une étude exploratoire par le biais de dispensaires de traitement antirétroviral et d'organisations de la société civile s'occupant de personnes qui vivent avec le VIH. Des questionnaires auto-administrés ont permis d'obtenir des informations sociales et démographiques, alors des entretiens approfondis semi-structurés individuels et en couple ont étudié les relations sexuelles et les décisions sur la paternité/maternité. La majorité des partenaires séropositifs étaient des femmes qui suivaient un traitement antirétroviral. Près d'un tiers des répondants sud-africains et la moitié des répondants tanzaniens ont fait état de tensions liées à la sérodiscordance, alors que plus de la moitié des Sud-Africains et près des trois quarts des Tanzaniens ont indiqué que leur statut discordant avait affecté leur intimité. Ceux qui n'étaient pas parents avaient plus de probabilités de désirer un enfant (17/23) que ceux qui en avaient déjà (16/44), même si ce désir était influencé par la crainte de la transmission du VIH au partenaire séronégatif et les conseils médicaux professionnels. L'étude souligne la nécessité d'une information ciblée pour les couples sérodiscordants, ainsi que des services de conseil et de soutien aux couples.ResumenEn este artículo se informa sobre la influencia el VIH en las relaciones sexuales y decisiones de maternidad de 36 parejas sero-discordantes, 26 en Sudáfrica y 10 en Tanzania, reclutadas para un estudio exploratorio por clínicas hospitalarias de tratamiento antirretroviral y organizaciones de la sociedad civil que trabajan con personas que viven con VIH. Se utilizaron cuestionarios autoadministrados para obtener información social y demográfica, mientras que las relaciones sexuales y decisiones de maternidad de las parejas fueron exploradas mediante entrevistas a profundidad semiestructuradas, tanto individuales como en pareja. La mayoría de las parejas VIH-positivas eran mujeres que estaban recibiendo tratamiento antirretroviral. Casi una tercera parte de las personas entrevistadas en Sudáfrica y la mitad de aquéllas en Tanzania relataron experiencias de tensión relacionada con la sero-discordancia, mientras que más de la mitad en Sudáfrica y casi tres cuartas partes en Tanzania relataron que la intimidad había sido afectada por su estado discordante. Aquéllas sin hijos tendían más a desearlos (17/23) que las que ya tenían hijos (16/44), aunque este deseo era influenciado por el temor de transmitir el VIH a la pareja negativa y por consejos de profesionales médicos. El estudio señala la necesidad de ofrecer información, consejería y servicios de apoyo a las parejas sero-discordantes
