Methods: A total of 82 PWLWHIV were interviewed at an Institute in Rio de Janeiro. Maternal satisfaction was measured using the Brazilian version of the Mackey Childbirth Satisfaction Rating Scale, which was translated to Brazilian Portuguese by Lopes, who validated the translated version. The Mackey scale is divided into six subscales: self-evaluation, partner, baby, midwives, doctors, and overall satisfaction. Results: The PWLWHIV experienced a good total childbirth satisfaction (score 133 out of 165) and good overall childbirth satisfaction (score 12 out of 15). The PWLWHIV also experienced a good self-satisfaction (score 37.3 out of 45), good satisfaction with partner (score 8.96 out of 10), good satisfaction with midwives (score 35.1 out of 45), and good satisfaction with doctors (score 31.2 out of 45). The PWLWHIV also experienced satisfaction with their babies (score 8.48 out of 10). Significant associations were found through univariable and multiple regression analysis, regarding complications with baby at birth (p &lt; 0.001) on the total, overall, self, partner, midwife, and doctor subscales. Conclusions: PWLWHIV had a positive experience at childbirth in the public maternities units of Rio de Janeiro. Our findings indicate that complications regarding baby health at birth were the main factor associated with a negative experience.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14061975","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,14]],"date-time":"2025-03-14T07:02:16Z","timestamp":1741935736000},"page":"1975","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Childbirth Experience of Pregnant Women Living with HIV Virus"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Andr\u00e9a Paula","family":"de Azevedo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, 4200-319 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Martag\u00e3o Gesteira Childhood and Pediatric Institute, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro 21941-612, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1312-0154","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luisa","family":"Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, 4200-319 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Center for Health Technology and Services Research (CINTESIS@ RISE), Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, 4200-319 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8633-0913","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cristina Barroso","family":"Hofer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Martag\u00e3o Gesteira Childhood and Pediatric Institute, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro 21941-612, Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro 21941-630, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8083-7895","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisca","family":"Rego","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, 4200-319 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1002\/ijgo.15528","article-title":"Impact of maternal HIV infection on perinatal outcomes: A systematic review","volume":"166","author":"Atowoju","year":"2024","journal-title":"Int.
