Title: Family Planning Promotion to Prevent Unplanned Pregnancies in HIV Infected Zambian Couples
Brief Summary: Prevention of unplanned pregnancies among HIV infected couples decreases the rate of maternal-child virus transmission and the number of children orphaned when parents die of AIDS. This study will evaluate two programs for reducing the number of unplanned pregnancies among HIV infected couples in Zambia.

* CD4 cell count (performed by study staff) of at least 250 cells/mm3.
* No history of any clinical AIDS-defining diagnoses.
