Abstract
In this cohort, maternal disclosure of HIV serostatus to family members (other than sexual partner[s]) was associated independently with a reduction in postpartum depression by more than one-half. Disclosure of HIV serostatus to a family member may be a marker for psychosocial well-being and enhanced support that affords protection against postpartum depression.
