The use of hormonal contraception has been associated with an increased risk of HIV-1 in some studies but not in others. We analysed data from a 10-year prospective cohort study of female sex workers in Mombasa, Kenya. In multivariate analysis, women using the injectable contraceptive depot medroxyprogesterone acetate and women using oral contraceptive pills were at increased risk of HIV-1 acquisition compared with women using no contraceptive method.
