There was a notable fertility decline among women in the study area from 1994 to 2018. Fertility remained lower in women living with HIV than in HIV-uninfected women, but the difference continued to narrow over time. These results highlight the need for more research into fertility changes, fertility desire and family planning use in Tanzanian rural communities.
