Overview
This study explored perceptions towards and utilization of contraception among HIV-positive, reproduction-age women in Kericho, Kenya, an area with high HIV and low contraceptive prevalence rates. Qualitative methods were used in three focus group discussions and 15 in-depth interviews to gather data from 46 HIV-positive women ages 18 to 45, purposively selected by age strata. Analysis was performed using ATLAS-ti (ATLAS-ti Center, Berlin). Most participants reported familiarity with modern contraceptives. Participants generally perceived that men opposed contraception. Some women indicated that their HIV status dictated contraceptive decisions, particularly with regard to abstinence. Women reported method discontinuation because of side effects, having met desired parity, and menstrual changes. Findings suggested that perceptions about side effects, opinions of the male partner, and HIV disease progression play important roles in contraceptive decisions. Counseling can dispel incorrect information and optimize contraceptive practice in this setting. Cette étude a exploré les perceptions envers l'utilisation de la contraception chez les femmes séropositives qui sont en âge de procréer, à Kericho, une région qui a un taux élevé de prévalence du VIH et un taux bas de prévalence contraceptive. On s'est servi des méthodes qualitatives dans trois discussions à groupe cible et 15 interviews en profondeur pour collecter des données des 46 femmes séropositives âgées de 18 à 45 ans sélectionnées de manière calculée d'après l'âge. L'analyse a été faite à l'aide d'ATLAS-ti (Centre d » ATLAS-ti, Berlin). La plupart des participants ont indiqué une familiarité avec les contraceptifs modernes. Les participants ont en général aperçu que les hommes se sont opposés à la contraception. Certaines femmes ont indiqué que leur état séropositif a dicté les décisions contraceptives, surtout à l'égard de l'abstinence. Les femmes ont signalé l'interruption des méthodes à cause des effets secondaires, ayant satisfait la parité désirée et des modifications menstruelles Les résultats ont suggéré que les perceptions par rapport aux effets secondaires, les opinions du partenaire maie et la progression de la maladie du VIH jouent des rôles dans les décisions contraceptives. L'assistance socio-psychologique peut dissiper l'information incorrecte et optimiser la pratique contraceptive dans ce milieu.
