This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

OBJECTIVES: to map the scientific evidence on educational technologies developed for women with HIV/AIDS in relation to knowledge and behavior about sexual and reproductive health. METHODS: integrative review, using databases such as MEDLINE, Web of Science, SCOPUS, EMBASE, LILACS and BDENF. Methodological quality was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program, and levels of evidence were determined using Fineout-Overholt. Primary studies were included and clinical trial protocols were excluded. The results were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively, resulting in two categories. RESULTS: of the studies selected, four dealt with educational technologies related to sexual behavior and reproductive planning, while five addressed the puerperal pregnancy cycle. These studies were considered to have good methodological quality, low bias and proven effectiveness. CONCLUSIONS: the evidence synthesis highlighted the importance of disseminating knowledge about contraceptive and conception options to prevent avoidable complications in women with HIV of reproductive age.
