Description
Michael Deynu, leading five colleagues, published a 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis of behavioral programs meant to raise contraceptive use among women living with HIV. Contraception prevents unplanned pregnancy and reduces HIV passing to infants, yet use stays low in this group. The team searched six databases to September 2025 for randomized trials, pooling results with a random-effects model and grading evidence quality.
Five trials with 5,903 women, run in Uganda, Kenya, and the United States between 2009 and 2021, qualified. Structured contraceptive counseling was the commonest intervention, joined in some trials by vouchers, outreach, and safe-sex education. The pooled analysis began from a significant association between such programs and contraceptive use, and the authors present the trials as the available randomized evidence base.
