Contraceptive method and self-reported HIV status among women in Malawi

Contraceptive use differed by self-reported HIV status among adult women with contraceptive need in Malawi. Female sterilization was significantly higher, and use of progestin-only injectables was significantly lower, among HIV-positive women compared to their HIV-negative counterparts. Use of long-acting reversible contraception was low among both HIV-positive and HIV-negative women.
