Uptake of contraceptives is generally low in low-income settings. For women with HIV, contraception is a reliable and affordable method of minimizing vertical transmission. We investigated the factors that affect contraceptive use among Kenyan women using data collected during the Kenya Demographic & Health Survey (KDHS) of 2014. Data on contraceptive use were extracted from the 2014 KDHS database. Records of 31,079 Kenyan women of reproductive age (15-49 years) were analyzed. Frequencies were calculated; cross-tabulations and bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted. Twelve thousand thirty-two women (39%) reported using a contraceptive method. Region, religion, education, number of living children, marital status, and prior testing for HIV were significantly associated with contraceptive use among women (P < 0.001). Social, economic, and demographic factors predict contraceptive use among Kenyan women and should be addressed in order to increase contraceptive uptake.
在低收入环境中，避孕药具的使用率通常较低。对于感染艾滋病毒的女性来说，避孕是一种可靠且负担得起的方法，可以最大限度地减少垂直传播。我们利用肯尼亚 2014 年人口与健康调查（KDHS）收集的数据，调查了肯尼亚妇女使用避孕药具的影响因素。避孕药具使用的数据取自 2014 年 KDHS 数据库。分析了 31079 名育龄（15-49 岁）肯尼亚妇女的记录。计算了频率；进行了交叉表和双变量及多变量分析。有 12032 名妇女（39%）报告使用了避孕方法。地区、宗教、教育、活产子女数量、婚姻状况和艾滋病毒检测史与妇女使用避孕药具显著相关（P<0.001）。社会、经济和人口因素预测了肯尼亚妇女使用避孕药具的情况，应该加以解决，以提高避孕药具的使用率。
