Nonoxynol-9
Spermicide Contraception Use - United States, 1999
An
assessment of contraceptive use among women attending Title X family
planning clinics in 1999 indicated that some women were using
Nonoxynol-9 (N-9) spermicide. Data were collected from the
national family planning program, which serves predominantly
low-income women. One percent to 5 percent of women attending these
clinics said they used contraceptive products containing N-9,
including vaginal films and inserts, gels, jellies and foams. This
study measures N-9 usage prior to recommendations against the use of
N-9 for STD and HIV prevention. However, the findings indicate that
as of a few years ago, N-9 was being used as a contraceptive among
some women in the U.S. Recently published studies conducted in
commercial sex workers have shown that N-9 contraceptives do not
protect against HIV, gonorrhea or chlamydia infection. Providers of
family planning services should therefore ensure women at-risk for
HIV/STDs are counseled that N-9 contraceptives do not protect
against these infections. Source: MMWR May

Contraceptive Practices Before
and After an Intervention Promoting Condom Use to Prevent HIV Infection
and Other Sexually Transmitted Diseases Among WomenSelected U.S. Sites,
19931995
The findings in this report indicate that, among the
reproductive-aged women who were encouraged to use condoms for HIV/STD
prevention, consistent condom use for HIV/STD prevention increased among
women using each contraceptive method studied. Thus, for women who were
neither sterilized nor using hormonal contraceptive methods at enrollment,
the risk for unintended pregnancy at follow-up was reduced because of the
increase in consistent condom use for HIV/STD prevention or the use of
other effective contraceptive methods. Source: MMWR May 2,
