The chapter describes two types ofHIV results: self‐reported prior test results and test results from HIV testing done for KAIS.• Only women aged 15‐54 years who had given birth to their lastborn child between 2003 and 2007were asked about ANC services and breastfeeding practices with respect to their lastborn child.This group comprised 43.3% of all women participating in KAIS.• All women aged 15‐49 years were asked about current pregnancy (that is, pregnancy at the time ofthe interview), ANC attendance during the current pregnancy and use of contraception. Womenaged 15‐49 years and currently pregnant at the time of the survey comprised 6.1% of all womenparticipating in KAIS.• Only women who were married or cohabiting with a man and had not been sterilized (tuballigation or hysterectomy) were asked about their desires for a child ∗ in the future. For analysispurposes, the following decisions were made:oooAnalysis of fertility desires was limited to women of reproductive age (15‐49 years)Women who were sterilized were assumed to not want a child ever in the futureWomen who could not have a child for reasons other than female sterilization wereexcluded from analysis.Overall, women included in the fertility desires analysis comprised 53.6% of all womenparticipating in KAIS.• To quantify unmet need for contraception, current contraceptive use was calculated for womenwho met all of the following criteria: not pregnant at the time of the interview, did not want a childin the next two years or ever in the future, and married or cohabiting with a man. In all, 33.6% ofwomen who participated in KAIS met these criteria.Appendix B.8 sample sizes and 95% confidence intervals for estimates presented in this chapter.Throughout the chapter, the term significant indicates a chi‐square p‐value less than 0.05;marginally significant indicates a p‐value between 0.05 and 0.10, inclusive; and not significantindicates a p‐value greater than 0.10.Population estimates reported in this chapter were calculated based on the 2007 projected populationby province, age and sex reported in the Revised Population Projections for Kenya 2000‐2020, KenyaNational Bureau of Statistics (August 2006). Weighted national estimates for selected indicators from the2007 KAIS were used in these calculations.
