Do Women Find the Progesterone Vaginal Ring Acceptable? Findings from Kenya, Nigeria, and Senegal
The progesterone vaginal ring (PVR) is a contraceptive designed for use by breastfeeding women in the first year postpartum. This Report presents results of an acceptability study of the PVR in Kenya, Nigeria, and Senegal. Women seeking postpartum family planning services were offered various contraceptive options including the PVR. Of the 174 participating women, 110 (63 percent) used one ring and 94 (54 percent) completed the study by using two…
Policy scripts and students' realities regarding sexuality education in secondary schools in Kenya
This paper explores the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) policy context and the realities facing in-school young people in Kenya. It is based on a review of the health and education sector policy documents as well as data from self-administered questionnaires with 3624 male and female students from eight secondary schools in Nairobi. Findings show that although the policies emphasise the right to access accurate SRH information, there are res…
Maternal Health Care Utilization Among HIV-Positive Female Adolescents in Kenya
CONTEXT: Given the health risks of HIV/AIDS and the risks of teenage pregnancy in general, pregnant HIV-positive adolescents in Kenya need maternal health care services that account for their HIV status. However, research on their access to and use of these services is scant. METHODS: To examine maternal health care utilization, pregnancy history data collected in 2009 on 506 pregnancies among 393 HIV-positive female adolescents aged 15-19 enroll…
Barriers to Sexual and Reproductive Health Programming for Adolescents Living with HIV in Uganda
The limited effect of knowing they are HIV-positive on the sexual and reproductive experiences and intentions of infected adolescents in Uganda
This paper compares the sexual and reproductive experiences and intentions of those adolescents aged 15-19 years in Uganda who are perinatally infected with HIV and know their sero-status with those of adolescents who do not know their sero-status. The analysis comprises a simple comparison of means and proportions, together with the relevant tests of significance, as well as estimation of Cox proportional hazards and random-effects logit models.…
Preventive service needs of young people perinatally infected with HIV in Uganda
The sexual and reproductive health needs of young people perinatally infected with HIV in Uganda remain largely unaddressed by existing HIV/AIDS programs mostly because, such programs encourage young HIV-positive clients to refrain from or postpone sexual activity. This study examines the sexual expressions and experiences as well as the preventive practices of 732 adolescent boys and girls aged 15-19 years who were born with HIV with a view to i…
Recent research on sexuality in East Africa
Unless one is particularly inattentive, it is nearly impossible not to have noticed the growth of interest in the intersection between sexuality, culture and health in the East African region over
Engaging men who have sex with men in operations research in Kenya
Research on men who have sex with men (MSM) in Africa is severely constrained. This paper examines the process of engaging MSM in research in a context where same-sex relationships are criminalised and socially stigmatised. Despite difficulties in researching MSM in Kenya, a convenient sample of 500 men was enrolled into a study aimed at understanding HIV/STI risks and prevention needs. Lessons drawn from this study highlight innovative methodolo…
The policy on public–private mix in the Ugandan health sector
An informal public-private mix in the health sector has always existed in Uganda, and policymakers, planners and the public in general have taken this for granted. There is now renewed effort to develop a comprehensive policy on the mix, but the policy process has proved to be tortuous and the mix has been interpreted differently by different stakeholders. While significant differences in opinion on the mix still remain, it is becoming clear that…
