We conducted a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional study assessing fertility desires and intentions of MLWH using a 5-point Likert scale based on the question: \u201cBeing a father is important to me\u201d. Logistic regression models were fit to calculate unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (CIs) for significant correlates. Of the 276 respondents, 118 were heterosexual, 158 were gay, bisexual, 2-spirit, or queer (GBTQ), 55% had never parented before, and 65% wanted to parent. 191 (69%) respondents agreed that fatherhood was important to them. In unadjusted analyses, heterosexuality (OR 1.52; 95% CI 1.15 to 2.03), African\/Caribbean\/Black ethnicity (OR 1.57; 95% CI 1.12 to 2.19), African\/Caribbean birthplace (OR 1.48; 95% CI 1.06 to 2.05), and history of parenting (OR 1.60; 95% CI 1.10 to 2.39) were significantly (p &lt; 0.05) associated with importance of fatherhood. However, none of these variables were significant in adjusted analyses. From the unadjusted model, factors such as sexual orientation, ethnicity, and current parenthood may influence how MLWH value fatherhood, suggesting HIV and fatherhood is complex and must be explored further.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/23259582211016133","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,18]],"date-time":"2021-05-18T04:52:51Z","timestamp":1621313571000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Understanding the Importance of Fatherhood among Men Living with HIV in Ontario"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4160-5922","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luke Thomas","family":"Kyne","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Women\u2019s College Research Institute, Women\u2019s College Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark H.","family":"Yudin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"St. Michael\u2019s Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tsegaye","family":"Bekele","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ontario HIV Treatment Network (OHTN), Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mona","family":"Loutfy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Women\u2019s College Research Institute, Women\u2019s College Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sean B.","family":"Rourke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St. Michael\u2019s Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"Centre for Urban Health Solutions, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Watson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St. Michael\u2019s Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joseph","family":"Nguemo Djiometio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Daphne Cockwell School of Nursing, Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tony","family":"Antoniou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St. Michael\u2019s Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Family and Community Medicine, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jason","family":"Globerman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ontario HIV Treatment Network (OHTN), Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adam","family":"McGee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ontario HIV Treatment Network (OHTN), Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7478-8596","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"V.
