In many African settings, women concurrently face substantial risk of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) infection, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancies. Few studies have evaluated STI risk among users of hormonal implants and copper intrauterine devices (IUDs) although these long‐acting reversible contraceptive methods are being promoted widely because of their benefits. Within a prospective study of women at risk for HIV‐1, we compared the risk of acquisition of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Trichomonas vaginalis among women using different contraceptive methods.
