Desire for Children and the Unmet Sociocultural Needs Steven Ndinya

Generally for human beings, the desire for children is something physiological, determined by biological make up and it is nearly impossible to resist for virile and none virile individuals. This is irrespective of the sero-status of an individual and the communal values that are attached to a child from one community to another This book provides a refection on the unmet sociocultural needs among the HIV positive couples in their desire to have their biological children not withstanding their sero status. It recognizes the prevailing interventions and ascertains that the needs of virile couples are not only limited to medical, counseling services and economic issues but also they include sociocultural values of the couples. As you read through the rich documentation by the author, you get a deeper understanding of other available mechanisms used for addressing the unmet sociocultural needs among the HIV positive couples while considering their desire for children.
