Demand for family planning service among young women VCT clients

Integrating reproductive health services, particularly family planning with HIV/AIDS services such as voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) is vital in preventing unintended pregnancy, reducing number of AIDS orphans, preventing vertical transmission of HIV from mother to child and sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS. As there is information gap on family planning (FP) demand of VCT clients, it is difficult to determine the extent of demand and provision of FP service need of VCT clients. Thus it is essential to determine the extent of demand and provision of FP service in VCT settings as well as the possible opportunities and dispute of integrating FP service with VCT.
