Awareness of HIV post-exposure prophylaxis after sexual exposure and emergency hormonal contraception in HIV-positive women.

Abstract:

:Women attending a dedicated medical gynaecology and family planning referral clinic for women with HIV were surveyed using a standard questionnaire about their knowledge and attitudes to post-exposure prophylaxis after sexual exposure (PEPSE) and emergency hormonal contraception (EHC). Eighty percent of them had not heard of PEPSE, but once informed about it, 86% said they would inform a partner about it. Less than 10% had any idea of the duration of effectiveness. Seventy-three percent of the women knew about EC and 45% of them had used it previously. Ninety-eight percent of them would use it in the future if necessary. Eighty percent of them knew its period of effectiveness. There is a clear need for information about PEPSE, which needs to be delivered around the time of HIV diagnosis and reinforced later. Some women will need help in discussing it with HIV-negative partners.
