“…RESULT: The proportion of women utilizing modern contraceptives was 47.7% with (95% CI: 43, 52.5%), the male condom being the most (64.2%) utilized method. The use of the contraceptive methods was most prevalent among women 15–24 years of age (AOR = 6.5, 95% CI: 2–10) and age of 25–34 (AOR = 3, 95% CI: 1.6–5.5), having an urban residence (AOR = 0.095, 95% CI: 0.03–0.28), having discussed contraceptives with partner (AOR = 7, 95% CI: 5.3–11.9), receiving counseling from health care providers (AOR = 4.8, 95% CI: 1.8–7), previous history of contraceptive utilization (AOR = 5.6, 95% CI: 2.6–8.3), and with CD4 count >500mm(3)/dl (AOR = 2.4, 95% CI: 1.3–4.3). …”

“…The possibility of HIV transmission during a single, specific act was positioned along a continuum of risk, noting that the possibility of HIV transmission varies according to a range of intersecting factors including viral load, condom use, and other risk reduction practices. Current evidence suggests the possibility of HIV transmission during a single episode of sex, biting or spitting ranges from no possibility to low possibility. …”
