    HIV incidence among women using intramuscular depot medroxyprogesterone acetate, a copper intrauterine device, or a levonorgestrel implant for contraception: A randomised, multicentre, open-label trial

    The ECHO trial, a randomized clinical trial, was developed to address a long-standing question about the possible association of hormonal contraceptives with increased HIV acquisition risk. This article presents the data from research sites in Eswatini, Kenya, South Africa and Zambia. The results indicate there were no substantial differences in HIV incidence associated with use of three licensed contraceptive methods and supports continued and expanded access to these methods.

    HIV risk associated with serum medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) levels among women in east and southern Africa: A case-control study

    Some studies have found increased HIV risk associated with self-reported injectable depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) use. This study used samples from women enrolled in previous HIV prevention trials to evaluate the association between serum MPA — the progestin in DMPA — levels and HIV acquisition. The authors found that detection of low levels of MPA close to the estimated time of HIV infection was significantly more frequent among women who acquired HIV. These results should be used to generate new hypotheses about potential mechanisms related to DMPA and HIV susceptibility.

    Applying factorial designs to disentangle the effects of integrated development

    The authors discuss the lessons learned from the design and implementation of a study assessing the effects of integrating an economic strengthening intervention with an HIV-prevention intervention among South African youth. They discuss the design of a full-factorial, randomized controlled study and how intervention features and their implementation context determine the methods for testing the effectiveness of integrated programming.
