“…Sangi-Haghpeykar, Posner, and Poindexter (2005) reported that surgically sterile women were significantly less likely than hormonal contraceptive users to have used condoms. The study conducted in surgically sterilized and non-sterilized women at risk for HIV infection found that sterilized women were one-fifth as likely as non-sterilized women to use condoms (Semaan, Lauby, & Walls, 1997). Thus, in general we believe that among married women the level of condom use is inversely related to the perceived efficacy of a contraceptive method.…”

The objective of this study was to determine factors affecting condom use and condom use rates among Thai couples. A cohort of 1,391 reproductive aged women who attended seven family planning clinics in all regions of Thailand and met study eligibility were followed at 3-month intervals for 15-24 months. At each visit, the woman was interviewed about sexual risk behaviors and counseled for sexual risk reduction and condom use. Condoms were provided free of charge. The women were classified into 3 groups according to contraceptive use at baseline: single contraceptive method group, dual methods consisting of contraceptives with condoms, and condoms only. We found that condom use rates were generally low in all contraceptive groups. Significant factors affecting condom use in multivariate analyses included, contraceptive method at baseline, polygynous marriage, higher education, engaging in commercial sex work, multiple sex partners, sex during menses, more frequent sex, laboratory confirmed STIs, husbands spending nights away from home, husbands having sex with other women, and penile ulcers or sores.

“…A study of 2864 women “at risk” for HIV infection demonstrated as risk factors for poor use exchanging sex for money or drugs, binge drinking, having limited resources, and being dependent on one’s partner (124). A study of women who had a tubal ligation demonstrated an extremely poor rate of condom use in this population, with only one-fifth as many using condoms as demonstrated in unsterilized women (125). …”

With the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), women living with HIV can now enjoy longer lifespans in relative good health as well as the prospect of bearing children with an overwhelmingly low risk of vertical transmission. Thus, increasingly, seropositive women are now facing issues around longevity as well as those associated with fertility. The clinician caring for the HIV-infected woman must be alert to the gynecologic issues that are prevalent in this population. Among those faced by the gynecologist are menstrual abnormalities, lower genital tract neoplasia, sexually transmitted infections, the need for gynecologic surgery, and menopausal issues including osteopenia/osteoporosis. Contraception in HIV seropositive women presents unique management issues, because of the necessity for a dual role of prevention of both pregnancy and HIV transmission, the possible effect of birth control on HIV infection, and the interaction between birth control and HIV therapies. With ever increasing frequency, the gynecologist will be presented with the seropositive woman or couple who wishes to conceive. The purpose of this chapter is to review the current knowledge on the relationship between HIV infection and menstrual abnormalities, genital neoplasias, contraceptive options, surgical complications, and menopause with its associated disorders. Special considerations in the seropositive woman contemplating pregnancy will also be discussed. The treatment of pelvic infections is discussed elsewhere in this volume, and only changes in standard therapy because of concurrent HIV-infection will be discussed here.
