Contraception is important for preventing unintended pregnancies and reducing maternal and infant mortality. Among women living with HIV (WLHIV), it is also central to preventing vertical HIV transmission. Yet unmet need for contraception remains high among WLHIV in sub-Saharan Africa. Mental health symptoms may contribute to unmet need, but evidence among WLHIV remains limited. We examined the relationship between depression and anxiety and unmet need for contraception. We used baseline survey data from Kenyan WLHIV receiving routine HIV care participating in a cluster randomized clinical trial evaluating a reproductive health counselling intervention at 10 HIV clinics. Women who were fecund, did not desire a pregnancy within two years, and not using a modern method of contraception were considered to have unmet need for contraception and were eligible for this analysis. Surveys captured data on depression, anxiety, fertility intentions and contraceptive use. We constructed separate generalized linear models to assess the relationship between depression and/or anxiety and unmet need for contraception.
