Uncertain Risks and Bitter Realities: The Reproductive Choices of HIV-Infected Women
本文探讨HIV感染女性在文化、政治和社会经济背景下做出生育选择时面临的困境，反对强制政策，主张政府和社会应赋予女性自我保护能力并提供非生育的自我实现途径。
Although most babies born to women with HIV will not develop AIDS, many health professionals and segments of the public object when these women will not forgo pregnancy. Such a view fails to consider fully the cultural, political, and socioeconomic contexts in which seropositive women make reproductive choices. HIV infection is only one of many conditions of chronic disease that can be passed from a woman to her fetus, and should not be singled out as a target for coercive policies. Rather, government and society have an obligation to empower women to protect themselves against HIV infection in the first place, and to offer them options for self-esteem and achievement independent of reproduction.
