Exploration of factors influencing contraceptive use among HIV-positive women participating in a Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission program in an urban setting in Harare, Zimbabwe

Chandiwana, Precious January 2016 (has links)
Magister Public Health - MPH / Dual protection is protection against unwanted pregnancy, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections and a means of achieving safer sex and birth control (WHO, 2012). It is one of the essential tools promoted by the WHO for preventing unintended pregnancies and sexual transmitted infections among HIV-positive women to reduce dual risk of unintended pregnancies, re-infections and transmission of HIV in the cases of sero-discordant couples. However, the use of dual method use among HIV-positive women in Zimbabwe is poorly described. Hence to fill in the existing research gap, this study aims to explore the factors influencing dual protection use by HIV- positive women participating in a prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) program in an urban setting in Zimbabwe. Methodology: A qualitative exploratory study design with a combination of qualitative research methods including interviews and focus group discussions was conducted. A total of five focus group discussions (FGDs) each consisting of 8-12 participants was conducted with a total of 51 women. Five in-depth interviews were conducted with key informants. All interviews and FGDs were audio recorded using a digital voice recorder. The interviews were conducted in Shona and translated into English. Data analysis was done manually using thematic coding. Codes emerged from the data using an inductive approach. Ethical principles of research and rigour were observed throughout the study. Results: Dual protection use was low among the HIV-positive women. Absolutely non-use of contraceptive was reported by some women. The main methods of contraceptives were the pill, depo provera and condoms. Inconsistent condom use was mentioned among the few women who reported using condoms. Many barriers to contraceptives use among HIV-positive women in Zimbabwe were identified. However there were a few facilitating factors too. Health system factors associated with health care workers (HCWs) related factors and service delivery processes were reported as major barriers to contraceptive use. Women expressed negative attitude towards condom use associating them with unfaithfulness. Facilitators of contraceptive use identified were couples' HIV testing and counselling, women's increase in CD4 count result, fear of vertical transmission and HIV sero-discordance between couples. Conclusion and Recommendations: In conclusion, dual protection use among HIV-positive women in this community was low. Health system factors were the main barriers to contraceptives use whilst health related factors were the main facilitators. HIV-positive women still face challenges in accessing and utilisation of contraceptives. Hence the barriers to contraceptive use needs to be addressed at the same time promoting the facilitators.

The experiences of women of their HIV/AIDS status disclosure to sexual partners: an exploratory study of Magunje township, Zimbabwe

Kambarami, Maureen Cresencia January 2009 (has links)
The African continent has been hit the hardest by the HIV/AIDS epidemic which has seen more women becoming infected than men (Hunter, 2003; UNAIDS, 2004). This has been attributed to the permissible nature of the African culture which is lenient on male promiscuity (Foreman, 1999; Colvin 2000; Leclerc-Madlala 2001; Dube 2003). African women are not only vulnerable to infection but are also vulnerable to negative disclosure experiences when they disclose their status to sexual partners. This double impact of culture has not been addressed by past researches (UNAIDS 2004). The present research thus attempts to fill that gap. It explores the interplay between culture and HIV transmission as well as the interplay between culture and disclosure experiences. The study’s setting is Magunje Township, a rural village in Mashonaland Central province in Zimbabwe. Taking into consideration the limitations of the present analysis, data gathered indicates that African women are vulnerable to both HIV infection and negative disclosure experiences. Their vulnerability also hampers prevention and treatment efforts as it makes them decide to keep their status a secret from sexual partners for fear of losing the financial income tied to sexual partners. The present researcher concludes with some suggestions for policy makers and programme implementers, highlighting the importance of focusing on HIV/AIDS status disclosure as a prevention and treatment method in the absence of a cure for HIV.
