“…Similar observations have been reported from previous studies in Ethiopia and Nigeria [18,24,25]. Another study from Michigan observed use of contraceptives four-fold more by young women during their sexual concurrency [26]. Considering the risk of developing an infection people more likely adopt practices to avoid development of infection.…”

Background People living with the human immune deficiency virus (PLHIV) are an important group to address HIV prevention. Mostly, 90% of the HIV cases in children are usually through mother-to-child transmission. Dual contraception (barrier condoms i.e., male, and female condoms) are one of the most effective ways to avoid HIV transmission. Thus, the present study was carried out to establish the predictors associated with the use of dual contraceptives in sexually active HIV positive women in Hossana, Southern Ethiopia. Methods An institution based unmatched case–control study among randomly selected 312 sexually active HIV positive women was conducted from February 2021 to May 2021. The data were collected through structured questionnaire and anti-retroviral treatment (ART) cards considering the case-to-control ratio of 1:3. The information was coded, entered into Epi-Info7.0 and exported to SPSS 20.0 for further analysis. A P-value < 0.25 in bi-variate analysis was further processed for multi-variate analysis and P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results A response rate of 97.2% was recorded. A significant difference was observed towards the use of dual contraceptives in sexually active HIV positive women living in urban vs rural areas (AOR = 0.28; 95% CI = 0.09–0.84), having sexual intercourse with a regular partner (AOR = 3.77; 95% CI = 1.48–9.55) and taking first initiation to use (AOR = 0.05; 95% CI = 0.02–0.11). Conclusion The determinants associated with lower use of dual contraceptives were residing in rural areas, sexual intercourse with a regular partner and low initiation rate at first time for use of dual contraceptives. Therefore, we strongly recommend that open discussion about sexually transmitted infections like HIV and their prevention, providing adequate facilities in rural areas can help to prevent HIV transmission and reduce the disease burden. The health professionals are encouraged to organize awareness campaigns in rural areas for use of dual contraceptives among PLHIV.

“…Ações que orientem para a prevenção das IST, com enfoque nas atividades educativas, são destacadas em outros estudos sobre a temática (FRANCISCO et al, 2016;SALES et al, 2016;WEITZMAN;BARBER;KUSUNOKI, 2019). E, ainda, a importância da utilização do preservativo em estratégias capazes de influenciar e mudar os comportamentos de risco, favorecendo um desenvolvimento sexual saudável (ALMEIDA et al, 2017;FITZ;ZUCKER, 2015).…”

“…Senn et al (2009) found that women who thought their partner was nonmonogamous were more consistent condom users than those who believed their partner was monogamous. Weitzman et al (2019) showed that women are also more likely to use condoms when they themselves are nonmonogamous. Women also expect to have less control over sex and contraceptive use when they believe their partner is having sex outside the dyad relative to when they believe that same partner is behaving monogamously (Kusunoki and Barber 2019), but they also tend to perceive the partner as having less desire for pregnancy when they are nonmonogamous (Barber et al 2019).…”

The Dynamics of Intimate Relationships and Contraceptive Use During Early Emerging Adulthood

We investigate the immediate social context of contraceptive behaviors: specifically, the intimate relationship. We use the Relationship Dynamics and Social Life (RDSL) study (2008–2012), based on a random sample of 1,003 women ages 18–19 residing in a Michigan county. Women were interviewed weekly for 2.5 years, resulting in an age range of 18–22. We test three sets of hypotheses about change over time within a relationship, using relationship-level within-between models, which compare a couple’s contraceptive behaviors across different times in the relationship. First, we find that a couple is less likely to use contraception when the relationship is more intimate and/or committed and that a couple becomes less likely to use contraception over time, regardless of intimacy and commitment. Second, we find that a couple using contraception becomes increasingly likely to choose hormonal over coital methods, but this change occurs as a relationship endures and is unrelated to intimacy and/or commitment. Third, we find that a condom-using couple’s consistency does not decline when there is conflict; rather, consistency of condom use declines over time regardless of the relationship’s characteristics. We also demonstrate that conflict and power imbalance increase reliance on hormonal methods among those using contraception; conflict decreases consistency among withdrawal (but not condom) users; and nonmonogamy increases reliance on condoms and decreases withdrawal consistency. The strong and consistent link between duration and contraceptive behaviors—regardless of intimacy, commitment, conflict, or power imbalance—suggests that the continual vigilance required for long-term contraceptive use is difficult during early emerging adulthood.
