| Abstract | Introductionall women, including those living with HIV, have the right to choose the timing, spacing, and number of their births and need access to family planning services. This study aimed at assessing the prevalence and factors associated with an unmet need for family planning among women receiving Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) services.Methodsa facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March to April 2018 in Gondar city, Ethiopia. A systematic random sampling technique was used to recruit 441 reproductive-age women on ART. The data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. The bivariate and backward multivariable logistic regression model was fitted to identify factors associated with the unmet need for family planning.Resultsthe prevalence of the unmet need for family planning among women living with HIV was 24.5%. Increase in women´s age (AOR: 0.90, 95% CI (0.85, 0.95)), having more than three children (AOR: 0.13, 95% CI (0.04, 0.38)), intention to have more children (AOR: 0.09, 95% CI (0.03, 0.23)), not disclosing sero-status to partner (AOR: 0.40, 95% CI (0.20, 0.82)) and having no experience of contraception use (AOR: 0.43, 95% CI (0.21, 0.90)) were protective factors against unmet need for family planning. Rural residence (AOR: 2.17, 95% CI (1.05, 4.46)) was associated with increased odds of unmet need for family planning.Conclusionone in every four women living with HIV had an unmet need for family planning. So, continuous awareness-raising activities on family planning for women on ART should be given by emphasizing the rural and younger age women. |
