The research subjects were 5 people taken by purposive sampling method and data collection techniques through in-depth interviews. The results showed that careful planning was carried out by subjects who had HIV positive husbands. Condom use was consistently carried out by subjects who had HIV positive husbands and released condoms after fulfilling eligible requirements for the pregnancy.
