Abstract Background: Antiretroviral therapy scales up globally and in Ethiopia, as a result, AIDS-related mortality has reduced, but the number of new HIV infections increasing. Antiretroviral therapy in Ethiopia gives a chance of living longer for reproductive-age women. Prevention of pregnancy among HIV positive women is the second WHO prongs of HIV transmission with respecting women’s reproductive rights. Antiretroviral therapy uses improve the health of HIV positive women using and women's fertility desire increasing. Therefore this study aimed to assess the fertility desire and associated factors among ART user reproductive-age women. Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study design conducted from November 2-30/2018. The calculated sample size was 400 and study participants were selected by using systematic random sampling. A pre-tested structured questionnaire was used to collect data. A binary logistic regression model was employed and adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval used to consider statistically significant Results: A total of 397 clients were participated in the study, giving a response rate of 99.3%. 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)]. Conclusion: In this study, we have identified a high proportion of fertility desire among ART user reproductive-age women. The duration of marital status, partner influence, family influence, and discussion of health care were associated with fertility desire. Family-oriented counseling, partner involvement on reproductive health services should be encouraged to support the rights of all women to safely achieve their fertility. Keywords: Fertility desire, reproductive age, women on ART.

Background. Women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are more likely to develop an increased risk of invasive cervical cancer. Morbidity and mortality due to cervical cancer could be reduced with early detection through cervical screening. Though uptake of cervical screening was investigated in Ethiopia, inconsistent findings were reported. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis was designed to estimate the pooled prevalence of cervical cancer screening uptake among HIV-positive women and its associated factors in Ethiopia. Methods. A comprehensive search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, EMBASE, CINAHL, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library was conducted. The data were extracted using a standardized data extraction format. Statistical analysis was done using the STATA, version 14, software. The heterogeneity of the studies was assessed using the I2 test. Funnel plots and Egger’s test were used to check publication bias. A random effects model was computed to estimate the pooled prevalence of cervical cancer screening uptake. Moreover, pooled odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were used to determine the association of identified determinant factors with cervical cancer screening uptake. Results. A total of 10358 studies were retrieved, and 7 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of cervical cancer screening uptake among HIV-positive women in Ethiopia was 18.17% (95% CI : 11.23, 25.10) with exhibited heterogeneity (I2 = 96.6%; p<0.001). Educational status of women (AOR = 3.50; 95% CI : 1.85, 6.07), knowledge of women on cervical cancer (AOR = 3.26; 95% CI : 2.50, 4.43), and perceived susceptibility (AOR = 3.26; 95% CI : 2.26, 4.26) were significantly associated with cervical cancer screening uptake among HIV-positive women. Conclusion. The uptake of cervical cancer screening among HIV-positive women in Ethiopia was low. The findings of this study suggest the need to improve the existing national strategies of cervical cancer screening so as to strengthen reproductive health education and promotion, in addition to providing screening services. Furthermore, cervical screening service should be integrated to the routine care and treatment, so that HIV-positive women can get counseling services in every clinical contact.
