Session Description
Access to sexual and reproductive health services and information, including a full range of contraceptive methods, is a fundamental human right critical to the well-being of women and girls. The ECHO study found no statistically significant increase in the risk of acquiring HIV between women using Cu IUD, LNG implant or DMPA IM. However, the study reported a high incidence of HIV, gonorrhea and chlamydia. To translate these research findings into policy WHO supported the formation of national task teams that brought together diverse stakeholders and had the mandate from Ministry of Health. This session highlights several aspects of the response showing the process, challenges and considerations. It is aimed at policy makers, program managers, advocates and researchers.
