Abstract
The paper will summarize study findings that discuss how providing contraception to HIV-negative and HIV-positive women can help to prevent new infections among women and reduce the risk of a child becoming HIV positive due to an unintended pregnancy or of subsequently becoming an orphan because the child"s mother or father dies of AIDS-related causes. The paper presents estimates of the costs and savings of including family planning in existing HIV-related care and treatment services in the original 14 Emergency Plan focus countries.
