Figure 1. Prevalence of injectable hormonal contraceptive (IHC) use and HIV prevalence by country.

Figure 1

Countries are coloured according to HIV prevalence[16–20] and IHC use[2] among 15-49 year-old women: red = high IHC and high HIV; pink = high IHC and low HIV; orange = low IHC and high HIV; yellow = low IHC and low HIV. HIV prevalence above 1% and IHC prevalence in the top quartile globally are defined as high and all values below these thresholds are low. HIV prevalence data was unavailable for 15-49 year-old women in Brazil, China, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Thailand therefore we use reported HIV prevalence from antenatal clinics for Brazil,[17] DRC,[19] and Thailand[20] and adult HIV prevalence for China.[18]
