This pilot study aimed to determine the feasibility of a larger study of contraception and risk of HIV infection in women. We also measured risk factors for and occurrence of HIV infection in the participants. A cohort of 1537 seronegative women attending a family planning clinic in Nairobi, Kenya was enrolled and followed for up to 12 months per woman. HIV testing was done quarterly. A nested case-control analysis was done with seroconverting women (cases) and 3 matched controls per case, who had detailed interviews and received physical examinations and STD tests. The prevalence of HIV at enrolment was 6.1%; seropositive women were excluded from further analysis. The 12-month life-table cumulative incidence of HIV was 2.1 per 100 women (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1-3.2). In the nested case-control analysis (17 cases and 51 controls), the crude odds ratio of HIV infection comparing oral contraceptive (OC) users with other women was 3.5 (95% CI 0.8- 21.5), which persisted after control for single confounders at a time. The putative association between OC use and HIV infection is critical to public health policy, yet no study has been conducted specifically to measure it, yielding weak and conflicting evidence. We intend to conduct a larger study with a similar design as the current pilot study, which confirmed the feasibility or a more definitive project.

Background: Maternal and child morbidity and mortality in developing countries have been shown to be reduced by effective use of contraceptive methods. Contraceptive use also improves the lives of women and children. Experience with previous use of contraceptives may affect the uptake rate of modern contraceptive methods. Aim and objective: To determine the pattern of previous contraceptive usage, uptake rates of the contraceptives, the continuation and discontinuation rates and the sources of prior contraceptives. The socio-demographic characteristics and sources of information on current contraceptive use at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital during the study period. Methods: This was a retrospective study of clients’ records in family planning clinic at theRivers State University Teaching (RSUTH) over a period of five years. Their cards were retrieved, reviewed; data was extracted, coded and analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) IBM version25.0 (Armonk, NY). Results: There were 874 contraceptive acceptors attending family planning clinic between 1st January, 2015 and 31st December, 2019 in the centre. Of this number, 566 (64.8%) were using one form of contraceptive method or the other while 308 (35.2%) were not on any form of contraception. Of this 566 women who used contraceptive method prior to their visit to the family planning clinic, intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) use accounted for 118 (20.8%), others were barrier method, 107 (18.9%), oral contraceptive pills (OCPs), 95 (16.8%), depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), 72 (12.7%), implanon, 40 (7.1%), noristerat, 36 (6.4%), postinor, 28 (5.0%), withdrawal method, 26 (4.6%) and calendar method, 24 (4.2%). Most of the previous contraceptives used came from Government hospital accounting for 44.4%. Most women (72%) obtained their information concerning current contraception from clinical personnel. More than half of the clients (64.1%) were within the age range of 30-39 years and 2 (0.2%) were below 20 years. Age range for the study was 19-51years. Majority of the clients (70.7%) were multipara while 162 (18.5%) were grandmultipara. Modal parity was para 3. The women with formal education were 867 (99.2%). Married women and Christians accounted for843 (96.5%) and 867 (99.2%) respectively. Conclusion: Most clients were in their thirties, married, educated and multiparous. Thirty five percent of the women were not using any form of contraceptive method which is quite alarming and definitely would have led to unwanted pregnancies and possibly induced abortions with its sequalae.

Background: Contraception is very important in preventing unwanted pregnancies thereby reducing maternal and child mortality as well as improving the lives of women and their families. This paper aims to determine the pattern of contraceptive usage, uptake rates of the contraceptives, the socio-demographic characteristics and sources of information on contraceptive use at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH) during the study period.Methods: This was a retrospective study of clients’ records in family planning clinic at RSUTH over a period of ten years. Their records were retrieved, reviewed; data extracted, coded and analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) IBM version 25.0.Results: There were 1893 contraceptive acceptors attending family planning clinic between 1st January, 2008 and 31st December, 2017 in the centre. The uptake rate of the contraceptives throughout the study period was on the downward trend.  Over half of the clients (60.7%) were within the age range of 30-39years and 6 (0.3%) were below 20 years. Age range for the study was 19-51years. Majority of the users (66.1%) were multipara. Modal parity was para 3 and 1862 clients (98.4%) had formal education. Most of the clients were married 1814 (95.8%) and of Christian religion 1813 (95.7%). Most preferred contraceptive method was the intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD), 814 (43%). Clinical personnel were the commonest source of information accounting for 1425 (75.3%).Conclusions: There was a downward trend in the use of contraceptives during the study period. Most clients were in their thirties, married, educated and multiparous.

SummaryDepot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) was approved as an investigational new drug for contraceptive use in the United States between 1967 and 1978. Patterns of contraceptive choice and changing methods were determined among 36,298 women attending a family planning clinic between 1967 and 1976. This population was the largest concentration of US women who had DMPA available as a contraceptive option. By 1974, women in the age group 35–49 were as likely to choose DMPA as either oral contraception or an intrauterine device. Coincidentally, use of the most popular choice, oral contraception, declined in older women and IUD use dropped sharply in all age groups. On average, users of DMPA were more likely to continue their method than were users of IUDs or barrier methods. Among women in the 35–49 age group, DMPA users were the group least likely to change methods.

Contraception Use

Family planning is one of the important aspects in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) in Goal 3 on Health and Goal 5 on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment. Family planning is the basic need and women’s right to pregnancy, to get optimal health. The use of contraceptive enables women to attain their desired number of children and determine the gap of pregnancies towards the improvement of the families’ well-being of. The aim of this paperisto describe the patterns and preferences of contraceptive use among new acceptors attending a family planning clinic at National Population and Family Development Board (NPFDB) in sixteenstates in Malaysia. The data analysis includes the new acceptors of contraception use among married women aged 15 to 49 years old, who attended a family planning clinic at NPFDB for the year 1990 to 2018. There are various types of contraceptive methods considered: contraceptive pills, Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUD), condom, hormone injection, implant, sterilization, rhythm and others. Results of the analysis show that contraceptive pills and sterilization have continued to be the most preferred contraceptive methods among new acceptors at NPFDB clinic, with decreasing pattern from 1990 to 2018.While the use of implant, hormone injection and condom has increased steadily since 2004. The state of Perak has the highest number of new acceptors in most years, whilethe federal territory of Labuan has the lowest number of acceptors in most years within 29 years from 1990 to 2018. In addition, the most popular contraceptive method among women for all states in Malaysia in most years from 1990 to 2018 is contraceptive pills, which is preferred in ten states: Kelantan (83%), Kuala Lumpur (72%), Labuan (40%), Negeri Sembilan (86%), Pahang (66%), Perlis (45%), Pulau Pinang (35%), Sabah (60%), Selangor (69%), and Terengganu (76%). While sterilization is the most popular in four states: Johor (62%), Kedah (59%), Melaka (52%), and Perak (66%). Finally, hormone injection is the most popular method in Putrajaya (100%), and condom is the most popular in Sarawak (40%).As a conclusion, this study has found that although the use of contraceptive pillsisdecreasing, it still becomes the most popular among new acceptors in most of the states in Malaysia since 1990. However, the decreasing pattern of new acceptors for all types of contraceptive methods becomes our concern. Future research should therefore,concentrate on the investigation of the reduction number of new acceptors at NPFDB clinic. This is important to make sure the demands of contraceptive can be met and NPFDB clinics couldprovide better services towards better quality of life and better families’ well-being.
