“…This is in contrast to the pool of evidence established by previous studies that found a positive association between level of education attained by women and prevalence of contraceptives [13,[22][23][24][25]. This anomaly can be attributed to the low population of women with tertiary education in this study.…”

Abstract:Contraceptive use is a form of family planning and it is one practice among the most important health decisions that many people make and this does not exclude women living with HIV/AIDS. Lack of adequate information on available contraceptive methods and restriction of choices are the major constraints for contraceptive users to obtain a method that suits their need. Consequently, this study was designed to assess contraceptive use among women living with HIV and AIDS receiving care at secondary and tertiary health care facilities in Ibadan, Nigeria. A cross-sectional study using systematic sampling technique was conducted to select 350 consenting women among HIV positive women receiving care in two health facilities in Ibadan, Nigeria. A pre-tested interviewer administered questionnaire was used to obtain information on respondent's socio-demographic characteristics, contraceptive usage and level of satisfaction of modern contraceptive method. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22. Chi-square statistic was used to test associations between categorical variables at a level of statistical significance of 5%. The mean age of respondents was 37.0±8.5 years and about 87.0% were currently married. The current prevalence of contraceptive was 67.7%. Condom was the most currently preferred contraceptive method (54.0%), followed by injectable (12.2%) and oral pills (11.0%). About 83.1% was satisfied with their current method of contraception. The most cited reason by those who were not satisfied with their current contraceptive method irregular menses (30.0%). The factors that were significantly associated with contraceptive use were maternal age, marital status, type of marriage, level of education and parity decision (P < 0.05). High level of contraceptive uptake and satisfaction was observed in this study. However, irregular menses was a common complaint of those who were not satisfied with their current method. Family planning programme should be incorporated as a component part of care for women living with HIV and AIDS.

“…This will help in reducing the risk of mother-to-child transmission. Also, knowledge of long acting methods was reported to be significantly associated with utilization26 and women’s knowledge of contraceptive was a significant predictor of their contraceptive practice 27. All these are indications for improving knowledge of WLHIV on contraceptive options available to them.…”

Background: Despite public health policies aimed at providing universal access to reproductive health care services, the reproductive health needs of women living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (WLHIV) are not adequately met. This study assesses the reproductive plans and utilization of contraceptives among WLHIV. Methods: This was a cross sectional descriptive study, which adopted a mixed method approach. A total of 400 respondents were recruited from two tertiary health institutions in Nigeria using systematic sampling technique. A validated structured self-administered questionnaire developed by the researcher was used to collect quantitative data for the study. The questionnaire consists of close ended questions related to study objectives. Quantitative data collected were coded and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) windows version 22 and statistical significance was set at p <0.05. The qualitative aspect of the study utilized focus group discussion for data collection. Results: The mean and standard deviation (SD) age of enrolled respondents was 37.42

“…Finally, there was a significant difference in the proportion of individuals who reported using contraceptives when comparing those who were aware of their HIV status (62.7%; 95% CI: 57.3-67. 7) and those who had never tested for HIV (51.6%; 95% CI: 44.7-58.4; p = 0.007). Figure 1 below shows that 1% of women reported that they were sterilized, 1% of females reported that their partner was sterilized, 9.6% of females reported that they were on the pill, 2.3% reported that they had an intrauterine device, 34.8% reported that they were using injectables, 3.3% reported that they were using the rhythm method, 6.3% reported that they were using the withdrawal method, 1% reported that they used the emergency contraception, and 40.6% reported using condoms.…”

“…There are several factors predicting none or low usage of contraceptives amongst women. Research evidence has shown that some socio-demographic and behavioral factors influence contraceptive use [6][7][8]. For example, low contraceptive use has been associated with sociodemographic factors such as women coming from rural areas, those with low educational qualification, low socio-economic status, limited knowledge on accessibility, and awareness of contraceptives [9].…”

Background: Despite a variety of contraceptives being available for women in South Africa, a considerable number of adolescent girls and young women still face challenges in using them. This paper examines socio-demographic and behavioral predictors of using contraceptives among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) aged 15 to 24 years.Methods: A secondary data analysis was conducted based on the 2012 population-based nationally representative multi-stage stratified cluster randomised household survey. Multivariate backward stepwise logistic regression model was used to examine socio-demographic and behavioural factors independently associated with contraceptive use amongst AGYW aged 15 to 24 years in South Africa.Results: Out of 1460 AGYW, 78% (CI: 73.9-81.7) reported using some form of contraceptives. In the model, contraceptive use was significantly associated with secondary education [OR = 1.8 (1.2-2.7), p = 0.005], having a sexual partner within 5 years of their age [OR = 1.8 (1.2-2.5), p = 0.002], and sexual debut at age 15 years and older [OR = 2.5 (1.3-4.6), p = 0.006]. The likelihood of association decreased with other race groups-White, Coloured, and Indians/Asians [OR = 0.5 (0.3-0.7), p = 0.001], being married [OR = 0.4 (0.2-0.7), p = 0.001], never given birth [OR = 0.7 (0.5-0.9), p = 0.045], coming from rural informal [OR = 0.5 (0.3-0.9), p = 0.010] and rural formal settlements [OR = 0.5 (0.3-0.9), p = 0.020]. Conclusions: Evidence suggest that interventions should be tailor-made to meet the needs of AGYW in order to, promote use and access to contraceptives. The results also suggest that family planning interventions should target those who had not given birth in order to reduce unplanned and or unintended pregnancies and associated risk factors. These findings contribute to public health discourse and reproductive health planning for these age groups in the country.
