Results: The results showed that within patients who revealed HIV infection to other people, the patients who revealed to their brothers and sisters recovered T-CD4 were 1.45 times more effective (95% CI: 1.09 – 1.93) compared with patients who did not disclose to siblings (p = 0.010).

The proportion of fertility desire in this study was 55.2 %(95% CI, 50.4%- 60.2%). A duration of marriage < 4 year [AOR=6.9(95 CI: 1.65, 28.81)], and 5–9 years duration of marriage [AOR= 13.8 (95% CI: 2.39, 80.39)] higher as compared to 15 years and above, family influence 3.4 times more likely to have fertility desire than have no family influence [AOR= 3.4 (95% CI: 1.06, 11.25)], partner desire 4.3 times more likely have had fertility desires as compared to with counterpart [AOR= 4.3 (95% CI: 1.93,9.41)], and discussion with health care provider 66 % less likely to have fertility desire as compared with counterpart [AOR = 0.34 (95% CI: 0.39, 3.31)].
