Strengthening integration of family planning with HIV/AIDS and other services: experience from three Kenyan cities.

Background: Kenya has made remarkable progress in integrating a range of reproductive health services with HIV/AIDS services over the past decade. This study describes a sub-set of outcomes from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF)-funded Jhpiego-led Kenya Urban Reproductive Health Initiative (Tupange) Project (2010-2015), specifically addressing strengthening family planning (FP) integration with a range of primary care services including HIV testing and counselling, HIV care services, and maternal, newborn and child care.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between August and October 2013 in the cities of Mombasa, Nairobi and Kisumu in Kenya to assess the level of FP integration across six other service delivery areas (antenatal care clinic, maternity wards, postnatal care clinic, child welfare clinic, HIV testing and counseling (HTC) clinics, HIV/AIDS services in comprehensive care clinics).
