Unintended pregnancy among women living with HIV in Cross River State, Nigeria: prevalence, associated factors, and implications for HIV prevention
Unintended pregnancy was high among WLH. Stakeholders must educate WLH and sensitize religious leaders about the need to encourage modern contraceptive use to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy among WLH. These findings have implications for the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission and maternal deaths, of which Nigeria has one of the highest rates globally.
