WHO and UNAIDS have advocated integration of
reproductive health and HIV/AIDS an effective
approach to increase HIV prevention in high
prevalence countries. By integrating HIV Counselling
and Testing (VCT) and family planning the access to
HIV information and contraceptive methods can be
expanded which would lead to a more effective
response to the epidemic and would help to avoid
unwanted pregnancy. Sub-Saharan African countries
continue to be most affected by HIV/AIDS. In Kenya,
the HIV prevalence rate is 6.7% while the
contraceptive uptake is relatively low. The Kenyan
government has recognized the benefits of integrated
family planning and VCT service delivery and
implemented the strategy on integration in 2003. It
identifies four levels for integrating family
planning into VCT and the national family planning
guidelines define two levels for integrating these
services. The study was conducted to investigate to
what extent family planning is integrated in Kenyan
VCT services and vice versa. The aim of this
research is to ultimately improve the access to
family panning services and HIV-related information
for the poor population in rural areas in Kenya.
