Method	Marital status	Location	Reasons	Sample quote
Pills	Unmarried	Pharmacy/chemist	Privacy, confidentiality	“ People can't judge them easily, they may think that he/she went to bought [sic] other type of medicine”
			No judgement, business transaction	“ It is more of business such that no one can bring up moral issues”
	Married	Hospital/clinic	Cost	“The services are offered for free”
			Marital status	“Because they are married and the service providers will happily give them the service”
Injectables	Both unmarried and married	Hospital/clinic	Safety, trained providers	“Because they see [an] injection as something complex so they would rather prefer getting it from a professional”
			Access, availability	“The family planning clinics are [the] only places we can access injectables”
Condoms	Both unmarried and married	Shops; pharmacy/ chemist	Easy access, convenience	“ It's easy to buy from chemists, no prescription needed”
			Discrete, anonymous	“They find this more discrete because when leaving a pharmacy, no one will know why you went there” (translated from French)
			No judgement, business transaction	“You just walk up with money and you are given the product without questions or caution” “Chemist attendants do not query or lecture the unmarried people. It is just business” “Because at the shops they are not judged that they are using condoms as a couple since the society does not understand that married couples can use condoms”
