description: | To assess the association between hormonal contraceptive use and HIV progression. A retrospective analysis of 625 female HIV seroconverters from a Ugandan cohort study. Multivariate Cox regression analyses incorporating time-varying hormonal contraceptive exposure were used to estimate the adjusted hazard ratios of death, and a composite outcome of AIDS or death, associated with hormonal contraceptive use. Sensitivity analyses included lagging hormonal contraceptive exposure, varying comparison groups, and separately assessing effects of oral and injectable contraceptives. A total of 27.5% of women reported ever using hormonal contraception. Of 625 women, 104 (16.6%) died and 291 (46.6%) progressed to AIDS or death during observation. Time-varying hormonal contraceptive use was not associated with an increased hazard of death as compared with nonuse of hormonal contraception (adjusted hazard ratio 0.76, 95% confidence interval 0.41-1.39, P = 0.37), and was associated with a significantly reduced hazard of progression to AIDS or death (adjusted hazard ratio 0.70, 95% confidence interval 0.50-0.97, P = 0.03). None of the sensitivity analyses suggested an adverse effect of hormonal contraception on HIV progression. Hormonal contraceptive use was not associated with faster progression to death, and was associated with a reduced hazard of progression to the composite outcome of AIDS or death. |
