چکیده
Since the onset of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, a relevant question has been whether contraception can influence or be influenced by the disease, and how HIV prevention can be integrated into HIV prevention and care programmes. On face value, it would appear that the promotion of all types of contraceptives would complement and synergize HIV/AIDS prevention efforts. However, there is now sufficient evidence indicating that this may not necessarily be so. There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that of all known contraceptives, only the male latex condom and perhaps the female condom can protect against HIV/STIs as well as unplanned pregnancy. By contrast, other contraceptives, including oral contraceptive pills, injectable contraceptives, intrauterine contraceptive device and spermicidal agents, have little dual protective effects. While contraceptives may be effective against unplanned pregnancy, many do not prevent HIV and other STIs. Indeed, there is some evidence that many of them may increase the risk of HIV in susceptible individuals.
