Need for comprehensive reproductive Need for comprehensive reproductive health services among women living health services among women living with HIVwith HIV
Women living with HIV who desire children should have support to safely conceive and deliver
Substantial unmet need for contraception and unintended pregnancy among women living with HIV
All women who wish to prevent pregnancy deserve access to voluntary family planning services

Key QuestionsKey Questions
Are women living with HIV who use hormonal contraception at increased risk of:
1. Death or progression to AIDSa. Measured by CD4 <200, initiation of
ART, or clinical AIDS
2. Change in CD4 or viral load

Methods: Study selectionMethods: Study selection Primary reports of studies examining hormonal
contraceptive use among women living with HIV PUBMED and EMBASE searched for published
articles in any language through December 15, 2011
634 unique references identified, 16 full-text articles assessed, 12 reports included
Excluded: studies with no comparison group; case control studies
Study information independently abstracted by 2 authors (SP & KC)
Methods: Quality criteriaMethods: Quality criteria
Methodology used to minimize confounding Accurate measurement and analysis of
exposure Composition of comparison group Loss to follow-up Length of follow-up Additional considerations for RCTs
– Adequate randomization– Allocation concealment– Distribution of potential confounders between groups– Maintenance of comparability of groups

1. Mortality or progression to AIDS 1. Mortality or progression to AIDS RCT: Stringer et al., 2007/2009 reanalysis
Designed to assess safety of IUD in women living with HIV
599 postpartum women living with HIV, Zambia
Randomized to either copper IUD or hormonal contraception (choice of OCs or DMPA)
2 year follow-up, 6 month visits
High loss to follow-up rates
– 31% of hormonal group, 23% of IUD group
High method discontinuation/switching rates
– 49% of IUD users discontinued, 76% of these switched to HC
– 13% of hormonal users discontinued, 16% switched to IUD
– Within hormonal group, 34% switched between OC and DMPA

DiscussionDiscussion
Discussion: Outcome 1Discussion: Outcome 1Mortality or progression to AIDSMortality or progression to AIDS
7 observational studies find no association between HC and HIV disease progression
1 RCT found increased rates of – time to CD4 count < 200 and – time to CD4 count < 200 and mortality – among HC users compared with IUD users (both
OC and DMPA users)
Discussion: Outcome 1Discussion: Outcome 1Mortality or progression to AIDSMortality or progression to AIDS
Strengths– Many observational studies with similar
findings, 2 with very strong methodology– One very large study (n=7846)
Limitations– Some small sample sizes– Follow-up time– RCT:
• loss to follow-up• method switching• comparison with IUD
19
20
Discussion: Outcome 2Discussion: Outcome 2Change in viral load, CD4Change in viral load, CD4
5 observational studies find no adverse association between HC and change in viral load or CD4
Limitations
– Small sample sizes– Failure to separate HC methods in some
studies– Lack of control for potential confounders
21
Discussion:Discussion:Study Quality – Observational studiesStudy Quality – Observational studies Quality ranged from poor to good "Good" studies
– Incident HIV cases– Multivariate analysis– Time-varying analysis of use of hormonal contraception– Findings similar to those rated as "fair" and "poor"
"Fair" studies– Prevalent HIV cases– Control for baseline health characteristics in multivariate
model "Poor" studies
– No separate analysis of different contraceptive methods– Inclusion of other HC users in comparison group– No multivariate analysis
Discussion:Discussion:Limitations in body of researchLimitations in body of research

Minimal or no information on newer methods (LNG-IUD, patch, ring, implants)
Limited data for women with clinical AIDS
All studies observational, with the exception of 1 RCT
