Demissie DB, et al. - In settings with high HIV prevalence, it is imperative to manage sexual and reproductive health to reduce HIV transmission and maternal mortality. In a resource-limited country like Ethiopia, integration of family planning with HIV services is appropriate for HIV therapy, HIV prevention, and care. Researchers herein investigated the status of integration of family planning services with HIV treatment, as well as determined the factors linked with successful integration of family planning and HIV services, for women of reproductive age in Oromia, Ethiopia for better health outcomes. They used a questionnaire to obtain data from women living with HIV attending ART clinics in the special zone surrounding Finfinne, Oromia Region in five health centers. This study had a response rate of 97.6% (654/670). Findings revealed relatively moderate integration of family planning/HIV services among women of reproductive age living HIV. The integration of family planning with HIV services was identified to be affected by following factors: the level of education, occupational status, residence, discussion of family planning with healthcare providers, fertility desire and CD4 counts.
