ABSTRACT

This paper introduces an issue of Reproductive Health Matters on safety with regard to pregnancy, birth control,

sexually transmitted diseases, and HIV/AIDS. Pregnancy and sterilization do not protect women against infections.

These life events demand different types of protection and new ways of thinking about safety. Pregnancy is an

especially vulnerable time for women during which the future mother must protect herself and the future child from

infection. The risk of infecting an infant with HIV through breastfeeding must be considered by new mothers. Many

in the HIV/AIDS field, as well as in the reproductive health field, are beginning to talk about sex practices, to

contextualize fertility awareness and fertility control, and to work on how to prevent and treat infection. This paper

mentions how papers in the issue cover these topics. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 3013-06)
