Abstract
Prevention of unintended pregnancy among women at risk for HIV infection or infected with HIV is critically important. One strategy for preventing unintended pregnancies in this population is improving access to a broad range of effective contraceptive methods. In 2010, CDC published US Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use, 2010, providing evidence-based guidance for the safe use of contraceptive methods among women with certain characteristics or medical conditions, including women who are at high risk for HIV infection or are HIV infected. Recently, CDC assessed the evidence regarding hormonal contraceptive use and the risk for HIV acquisition, transmission, and disease progression. Tepper et al summarize that assessment and the resulting updated guidance.
