Family Health International (FHI) is pleased to announce publication of
a supplement of the journal AIDS that addresses critical gaps in the
evidence base on family planning and HIV service integration. The
supplement covers research being conducted in three broad areas:

 

1.	Behavioral research examining contraceptive practices and
fertility desires of HIV-positive women and couples 
2.	Biomedical research addressing the safety and effectiveness of
contraceptive methods for HIV-positive women 
3.	Programmatic research evaluating service delivery approaches to
integrating family planning and HIV services 

 

This supplement originated from the belief that more evidence was needed
to persuade funders, policy-makers, and program planners and
implementers to act on the synergies between the two fields and enhance
the public health impact of both reproductive health and HIV programs.
Taken together, the studies published here expand the evidence base
regarding how the family planning and HIV fields are related-and how
they can be better integrated in practice. The supplement was
guest-edited by Rose Wilcher, MPH and Ward Cates, MD, MPH from FHI; and
Simon Gregson, DPhil from the Imperial College London.
