These materials contain guidance for providers
who offer contraception to clients with HIV, including those
on antiretroviral (ARV) therapy. The information can be used
in a variety of health care settings by providers who regularly
offer family planning services and by those who want to begin
integrating contraceptive services with HIV
treatment and care services. The materials provide specific information
about contraceptives for clients with HIV, possible interactions
between contraceptives and ARVs, decisions clients with HIV
may have to make, and advice about how to counsel them. Recommendations
are compiled from a number of sources, including the
Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use, a summary
consensus of expert opinion published by the World Health Organization
(WHO).
The materials contain: 1) a learning module/presentation that
provides a succinct overview of the key issues; 2) a pre-/post-test
to assess knowledge gaps and achievements; and 3) additional
materials, including fact sheets, participant handouts, references
and resources (hyperlinks or the full-text of key documents).
The additional materials were carefully selected to supplement
information for those who want to know more about the topic
and to facilitate their efforts to provide contraceptives
for their clients with HIV. The materials can
be
used for independent, self-paced study or for group presentations.
Guidelines for using the materials in both situations are included.
The
purpose of these materials is to familiarize providers with issues
related to contraception for clients with HIV, including
those using ARV therapy. Whether you are a presenter or a
self-study learner, suggestions for adapting the materials
to suit your
needs are included in the How to Use section.
