“…Factors associated with condom use in the respective studies were marital status and disclosure of HIV status to partner [30,36]. However, the prevalence reported in this current study was lower than the 45.5% and 58.2% recorded in 2 other separate studies conducted in Kogi, northcentral Nigeria among HIV infected seroconcordant and serodiscordant couples respectively [37,38]. These higher prevalence rates reported may be ascribed to the reasons reported for condom use in the respective studies which were to prevent pregnancy and to prevent transmission of infection in serodiscordancy.…”

Despite being on antiretroviral therapy, during unprotected sex, a HIV-infected pregnant woman can transmit HIV not only to a HIV-negative sexual partner but also pose a risk for reinfection with new or resistant viral strains between her and a HIV-positive sexual partner, and ultimately to her baby. Condom use is a recognized strategy to reduce this risk if practiced consistently. This study set out to determine condom use and associated factors among a cohort of women who attended PMTCT clinic in Jos University Teaching hospital. Methods: Ninety-six enrolled women provided information about themselves and their male partners via a questionnaire, and other relevant information was obtained from their hospital records. Data obtained was analyzed using Epi info version 7 (CDC Atlanta, GA). The mean age of the women was 36.4±4.5 years. They were predominantly married (90.6%), Christians (75.0%), and educated above primary school level (88.6%). The mean age of the male partners was 45.3±6.1 years and over half of them (57.3%) were HIV-positive. The prevalence of consistent condom use in the participants was low (26.0%). Only 4.2% of male partners had ever received counselling in the PMTCT clinic. Factors significantly associated with condom use were younger age of male partner (mean ± SD=43.0±4.7 years), younger age of pregnant women (mean ± SD=34.2±3.3 years), Christian faith of the women, male partners having ever accompanied their pregnant woman for counselling in the PMTCT clinic and viral load of < 1000 copies/ml (P value=0.0290, 0.0035, 0.0440, 0.0227 and 0.0045 respectively). The practice of consistent condom use among male partners of HIV-positive pregnant women attending PMTCT clinic in JUTH was low, suggesting the need for improved strategies to optimize its usage. Involvement of male partners in PMTCT counselling is significantly associated with consistent condom use and should therefore be advocated to augment efforts towards fighting sexual and perinatal HIV transmission.

“…Deterioration of clinical status among HIV infected individuals has been reported as result of super infection [19,22]. This underscores the need for continued preventive efforts aimed at ensuring safe sexual practices even among HIV-1 sero-concordant couples [19,27,28].…”

Introduction Data on the sexual behavior among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) dwelling at HIV prevalent setting located at the periphery of Ethiopia is lacking. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate sexual practice of patients following their antiretroviral therapy (ART) service and factors affecting their behavior. Materials and methods A facility based cross-sectional study design was employed to assess risky sexual practice and associated factors among HIV positive adults attending ART clinics in Gambella town, Southwest Ethiopia. Risky sexual practice is defined as a custom of getting in at least one of the following practices such as condom-unprotected sex with any partner, having two or more sexual partners and practicing casual sex in the last three months. A total of 352 randomly selected clients were interviewed by using a structured questionnaire. The multivariable logistic regression model was used to examine the association between covariates and the outcome variable. Results Majority of the study participants were engaged at least in one of the risky sexual practices (79.8% confidence interval (CI): 75.3% - 83.9%). The multivariable analysis found that the odds of risky sexual practice were higher among individuals who use substances (‘khat’ users (AOR: 3.82, 95%CI:1.30–11.22), smoke cigarette (AOR:4.90, 95%CI:1.19–12.60), consume alcohol (AOR: 2.59, 95%CI:1.28–5.21)); those who never discuss about safe sex with their partner/s (AOR: 2.21, 95%CI:1.16–4.21); those who have been in attachment for longer duration (more than four years) with their partner (AOR: 3.56, 95%CI: 1.32–9.62); and groups who desire to bear children in their future life (AOR: 3.15, 95%CI:1.40–7.04) as compared to their respective comparison groups. Conclusions A significant number of participants were engaged at least in one of the risky sexual practices which potentially result in super infection by a new or/and drug resistant viral strain/s, and onward transmission of the virus. Thus, an HIV intervention program which focuses on the identified factors has to be implemented to mitigate risk of unsafe sexual behavior of this population group and move towards ending the HIV/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) epidemic.

“…22.0% were of the perception that it is only promiscuous women that use contraception without their husband's consent, 23.5% of the respondents were of the perception that they will not allow their spouse to use contraception, the perception of 15.7% of the respondents was that it is only women that are meant to use contraception and not the men. About 16.4% and 22.0% perceived that there is no need for HIV positive men to use contraception and contraception should not be promoted among people living with HIV, while the perception of 19.4% of the respondents was that men should not assist their women in obtaining contraception this is in contrast with the study done at secondary health facility in North-Central Nigeria where 97.8% of the respondents said condom use should be promoted among people living with HIV/AIDS [12].…”

An integral part in the comprehensive care of HIV and a significant health service is contraception, however research carried out to evaluate the perception and utilization of contraception among HIV positive men are few. This research aim to determine the knowledge, perception and uptake of contraception among HIV positive male patients at Saye-Zaria. This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study with collection of quantitative data through questionnaire and qualitative data with Focused group discussion (FGD). The majority (85.1%) of respondents have heard about contraception, most had good perception, and only 61.9% of the respondents have ever used contraception. There was a significant association between level of education and perception. In conclusion there was high knowledge, low usage and poor acceptance of contraception. Therefore, the government should put adequate policies in place to encourage male involvement in the utilization of contraception.
