In order to analyze the fertility status of the married people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) (PLHA) of reproductive age in China, a sample of married PLHAs aged 22–45 in China is selected by using a stratified cluster sampling method. All participants are face-to-face interviewed with a structured questionnaire. Among them, the fertility status and its influencing factors of 366 PLHAs are statistically analyzed. Experimental results show that married PLHA of reproductive age in China has a high proportion of having children. The fertility status and fertility intention of females are higher than that of males. The proportion of unwanted pregnancies after the HIV + diagnosis of females is high.
