Abstract

Background: Dual contraceptive utilization can reduce the transmission of many sexually transmitted infections and is recommended by the World Health Organization. Even though recent times advise the use of dual contraception as a potent instrument in the control of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS, there are considerable contraceptive use gaps among women living with HIV globally.Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 22 to June 22/2022 among HIV-positive reproductive age women on Antiretroviral Therapy in the North Shewa Zone, central Oromia health facility. A total of 611 women were selected using a multi-stage sampling technique. A pre-tested structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Both bivariable & multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to find predictors for dual contraceptive utilization.
