“…However, we did account for the reduction of unintended pregnancies in HIV-infected women owing to the provision of oral contraception for 2 years postpartum. [27][28][29] Second, because we restricted costing methods to operating costs only, our estimates cannot be easily compared with values from the few relevant studies that have included capital costs. Third, to estimate national costs we multiplied unit costs by the reported numbers of individuals using particular PMTCT services in each country.…”

“…Globally, contraceptive use and its agreement is related to the range of methods available, patient choice, prevalent health and religious beliefs, perceptions of method effectiveness, and side effects 21 . Despite the fact that the contributions of contraception to reducing mother to child transmission (MTCT) have been well documented [22][23][24] . But, it is observed that the contraceptive prevalence rate is the lowest (mean = 29.66) in the highest HIV prevalence region (mean = 5.01), Africa.…”

Background: All over the world the prevalence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has became a stumbling stone in progress of human civilization and is a huge concern for people worldwide. Objective: To determine the social and health factors which contribute to increase the size of HIV epidemic globally. Methods: The country level indicators of HIV prevalence rates, are contraceptive prevalence rate, physicians density, proportion of Muslim populations, adolescent fertility rate, and mean year of schooling were compiled of 187 countries from the United Nations (UN) agencies. To extract the major factors from those indicators of the later five categories, backward multiple regression analysis was used as the statistical tool. Results: The national HIV prevalence rate was significantly correlated with almost all the predictors. Backward multiple linear regression analysis identified the proportion of Muslims, physicians density, and adolescent fertility rate are as the three most prominent factors linked with the national HIV epidemic. Conclusions: The findings support the hypotheses that a higher adolescent fertility rate in the population is the adverse effect of premarital and extramarital sex that leads to longer period of sexual activity which increases the risk of HIV infection. On the hand, and cultural restrictions of Muslims and sufficient physicians will decelerate the spread of HIV infections in the society.

Background: Women living with human immunodeficiency virus encounter unintended pregnancy with related risk of mother to child transmission of HIV. Unintended pregnancy among these peoples is associated with inconsistence use of contraceptives. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of modern contraceptive utilization and associated factors in the Mizan-Tepi teaching and referral hospital.
