Unintended pregnancy among women living with HIV in Cross River State, Nigeria: prevalence, associated factors, and implications for HIV prevention.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundUnintended pregnancy is common with unprotected sexual intercourse. Women living with HIV (WLH) are more likely to have unintended pregnancies with implications for vertical HIV transmission and negative health outcomes. Hence, there is a need to investigate unplanned pregnancy among WLH in an HIV burdened state in Nigeria. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and factors associated with unintended pregnancy among WLH in Cross River State, Nigeria.
methodsBetween June and August 2024, we conducted a cross-sectional study in four purposively selected health facilities. We asked 893 WLH if they had ever been pregnant when they did not want to and analyzed the data using SPSS version 29. We assessed factors associated with unintended pregnancy using logistic regression.
resultsThe WLH were on average 33.9 years old. About 61% were on modern contraceptives, mainly male condoms (37.6%). Unintended pregnancy was 49.2%; it was more common among those with increasing religiosity level (AOR: 1.239; 95% CI: 1.099-1.396), those who did not engage in transactional sex in the past year (AOR: 8.660; 95% CI: 2.338-32.079), and those without a history of miscarriage (AOR: 3.866; 95% CI: 1.583-9.445). Lastly, WLH with higher household incomes were less likely to report unintended pregnancy (AOR: 0.177; 95% CI: 0.042-0.738).
conclusionUnintended pregnancy was high among WLH. Stakeholders must educate WLH and sensitize religious leaders about the need to encourage modern contraceptive use to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy among WLH. These findings have implications for the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission and maternal deaths, of which Nigeria has one of the highest rates globally.
