Randomized Control Trial Copper Intrauterine Device and Depo-medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA) of HIV+ Women in Malawi
Prospective Assessment of Acceptability and Adherence Associated With Use of the Copper Intrauterine Device (CuT380A-IUCD) Compared to Depo-medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA) Among HIV Positive Women in Lilongwe, Malawi

The IUD is an extremely effective method of contraception yet few women use it worldwide. Considered safe to use in HIV+ women, few studies have evaluated its use among those using antiretroviral therapy. The only prior randomized trial looking at the IUD compared to hormonal contraception noted a high rate of IUD discontinuations. Understanding IUD acceptability and continuation is critical to improve utilization.

  • Objective 1: Determine WHO medical eligibility and the willingness for IUD placement
  • Objective 2: Compare method-related side effects and adverse events
  • Objective 3: Assess the 1-year acceptability and continuation rates

Methods: To address our objectives the investigators have designed a two Phase Study:

  • A cross-sectional screening to evaluate contraceptive medical eligibility and desirability
  • A randomized controlled trial that will compare acceptability and adherence to DMPA compared to the Copper IUD: enrolling 200 women stable on antiretroviral therapy to follow for 1 year
