Contraceptive use, prevalence and predictors of pregnancy planning among female sex workers in Uganda: A cross sectional study

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth Apr 11, 2019

Bukenya JN, et al. - In this cross-sectional study, researchers recruited 819 female sex workers (FSWs) attending most at risk populations initiative (MARPI) clinics in order to ascertain contraceptive use, the prevalence, and predictors of pregnancy planning among FSWs in Uganda. Planned pregnancies were reported in only 90 (11.0%) of these females. Overall, hazardous alcohol use was reported in 462 (56.4%) and abused drugs in 335 (40.9%); in the last 2 years, 172 (21.0%) had been raped and emergency contraception post-rape was undertaken by 70 (40.7%) of these. Fifty-eight percent reported dual contraception use (condom and other modern method). Low pregnancy planning was noted among FSWs amidst modest use of dual contraceptive when compared to women in the general population. Findings emphasize promoting dual contraception among FSWs to prevent unplanned pregnancies especially with non-emotional partners, drug users, and post-rape.
