 AB    OBJECTIVE: To describe the relationship between condom use and use of
       other contraceptives among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected
       women. METHODS: We interviewed 1232 women, 18-50 years of age, who had
       had sex with a man in the prior 12 months and who were reported with
       AIDS or HIV to local health departments in 12 states and cities in the
       United States. These women were asked about condom use and other
       contraceptive use in the past year. RESULTS: Forty-seven percent of
       women reported using condoms as a form of contraception in the past 12
       months. Thirty-four percent of the 286 women who had had a tubal
       ligation and 42% of the 182 women who used oral contraceptives (OC) used
       condoms. When we controlled for all factors associated with failing to
       use condoms, women who had had a tubal ligation (adjusted odds ratio
       [OR] 1.72, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.28-2.33), women who used OCs
       (adjusted OR 1.44, CI 1.00-2.08), and women who were unaware of the HIV
       status of their most recent steady sex partner (adjusted OR 1.72, CI
       1.28-2.31) were the least likely to use condoms. CONCLUSION: Human
       immunodeficiency virus-infected women who used more effective
       contraceptive methods were the least likely to have male sex partners
       who used condoms. In counseling women at high risk of transmitting HIV,
       health care providers should discuss reasons for using contraceptives
       (ie, preventing pregnancy versus preventing HIV transmission) and ensure
       that women understand that different forms of contraceptives may be
       needed to achieve those different purposes.
