(2014). “I may not say we really have a method, it is gambling work”: knowledge and acceptability of safer conception methods among providers and HIV clients in Uganda. Health care for women international, 35(7-9), 896-917.10.1080/07399332.2014.924520.doi:10.1080/07399332.2014.924520.https://nru.uncst.go.ug/xmlui/handle/123456789/2143In this qualitative study, researchers assessed knowledge, acceptability and feasibility of safer conception methods [SCM; timed unprotected intercourse (TUI), manual self-insemination, and sperm washing] among various healthcare providers (n=33) and 48 HIV clients with recent or current childbearing intentions in Uganda. While several clients and providers had heard of SCM, (especially TUI); few fully understood how to use the methods. All provider types expressed a desire to incorporate SCM into their practice; however, this will require training and counseling protocols, sensitization to overcome cultural norms that pose obstacles to these methods, and partner engagement (particularly men) in safer conception counseling.enHIVSafer conception methodsUgandaProviderPatientsChildbearing/ pregnancyPreconception counselingRisk reduction strategiesArticle
