Case Study

Mrs X, a 25 year old woman with 2 children aged 6 and 3 years, has just been informed that she is HIV positive. She has been in a monogamous relationship with her husband for many years and has used the IUD for contraception in between pregnancies. Her current IUD was inserted 6 months ago and she has had no complaints since then.

Following a diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in her husband, the couple was advised to go for VCT. The results confirmed that both husband and wife are HIV positive.

1. What additional questions will you ask the couple?
2. What advice will you give her about contraception?
