dc.description.abstractUnintended pregnancy remains an alarming global public health concern with its subsequent socioeconomic impact on individuals, families, and society. Moreover, preventing unintended pregnancy among women living with HIV is essential to decrease pregnancy related morbidity and mortality as well as mother to child HIV transmission. Thus, the purpose of this study was to identify the level of use of long acting and permanent contraceptive methods (LAPMs) among HIV positive women attending Kampala international university teaching hospital and factors that may influence the use of such contraceptive methods. An institution-based cross-sectional study design was used. A pretested questionnaire was used to collect data from 60 respondents. Data was then entered into IBM SPSS version 25 for analysis. Results were then presented in tables and charts. The mean age of the respondents was 28.3 years ±4.9 (Std) and the majority (90%) of the participants had 1-3 children while 80% were married. Prevalence of LAMPs was 31.7%. Factors associated with use of LAPMs were; age ≥35 years (X2=22.24; P=<0.001), being married (X2=6.95, P=0.031), Protestant denomination (X2=15.71; P=<0.001), having more than four children (X2=14.39; P=<0.001) and child spacing of more than two years (X2=13.98, P=<0.001). The use of long acting and permanent contraceptive methods in this study was relatively high. Age ≥35 years, being married, Protestant denomination, having more than four children and child spacing of more than two years were significantly associated with LAPMs use. More effort is needed from health workers in promoting the use of LAPMs among women with HIV.en_US
