FHOK in collaboration with International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) in collaboration with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and Population Council is implementing this project with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This five-year research project is gathering evidence to determine the costs and benefits of using different models for delivering integrated HIV and Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services in high and medium HIV prevalence settings, to reduce HIV infection (and associated stigma) and unintended pregnancy.

Research Objectives

1. Determine the benefits of different integrated models to increase range, uptake and quality of selected SRH and HIV services.
2. Determine the impact of different integrated services on changes in HIV risk behaviour, HIV related stigma and unintended pregnancies.
3. Establish the efficiency of using different operational models for delivering integrated services in terms of cost, utilisation of existing infrastructure and human resources.
4. Increase utilisation of research findings by policy and programme decision makers through dissemination to stakeholders.
