Listening to young women in Kenya and South Africa to inform multipurpose “2-in-1” products for HIV and pregnancy prevention
Van Der Straten, A., Minnis, A. M., Agot, K., & Ahmed, K. (2020). Preventing HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa: Listening to young women in Kenya and South Africa to inform multipurpose “2-in-1” products for HIV and pregnancy prevention. RTI Press.
Unintended pregnancy and unmet need for modern contraception contribute substantially to reproductive health disparities globally. In Sub-Saharan Africa, unintended pregnancy and the need for contraception occur in contexts of disproportionately high rates of HIV infection, especially for adolescent girls and young women. Multipurpose prevention technologies (MPT) can address HIV and pregnancy prevention needs in a single 2-in-1 product.
