Background.
Preventing unintended pregnancies among HIV positive women has a vital role to prevent mother to child transmission.
Besides, increasing access to contraceptives has a number of economical importance and reducing the costs for mitigating the unintended pregnancy consequences.
Therefore, this study is aimed at assessing the contraceptive use and method of preference among HIV positive women in Ethiopia.
Methods.
A systematic review and meta-analysis reporting guideline was applied.
Articles searched from the Scopus, Pubmed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, AJOL, Hinari, and Google scholar were included in this review.
The Stata 11 software was used to compute the analysis.
Heterogeneity of the studies was detected using the Cochran Q test and I2 test statistics.
Egger’s test was used to check the evidence of publication bias within the studies.
Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis was computed with the evidence of heterogeneity.
Results.
Ten thousand one hundred twenty one (10121) women living with HIV/AIDS were recruited in this study.
The national estimated prevalence of contraceptive use among HIV positive women in Ethiopia was 57.78% (95% CI: 48.53-67.03).
Injectables and male condom were the most preferred contraceptives accounted for 36.00% (95% CI: 6.64-45.35) and 32.74% (95% CI: 21.08-44.40), respectively.
Discussion with husband/partner (AOR: 4.70, 95% CI: 2.18-10.12), disclosure of HIV status to spouse/partner (AOR: 2.18, 95% CI: 1.55-3.06), ever counseled for modern contraceptives (AOR: 2.79, 95% CI: 2.01-3.88), attending secondary and above education (AOR: 3.12, 95% CI: 2.15-4.51), and having more than one live child (AOR: 2.61, 95% CI: 1.86-3.66) were increasing the likelihood of contraceptive use whereas not currently married women (AOR: 0.23, 95% CI: 0.16-0.34) was decreases the odds of contraceptive use.
Conclusion.
In Ethiopia, more than half of the women living with HIV/AIDS were using contraceptives.
Discussion with husband/partner, disclosure of HIV status to spouse/partner, ever counseled for modern contraceptives, attending secondary and above education, and having more than one live child were increasing the uptake of contraceptives among HIV positive women.
Partner discussion, having adequate information towards contraceptive use, and having desired number of child could increase the utilization; as a result, obstetric complication with HIV positive women due to unintended pregnancy is significantly decreasing.
