Abstract

This research article describes an assessment of the safety and efficacy of contraceptive implants (Implanon) for HIV-infected women in Porto Alegre Brazil. The study exhibited that Implanon was effective and relatively safe for HIV-positive women with significant co-morbidities and should be considered for those requiring contraception. The researcher recommends that further research be done to evaluate potential interactions between antiretroviral therapy and etonogestrel.
