description Introduction: Sub-Saharan Africa continues to carry the full consequences of health and socioeconomic impact of HIV, with about 25.8 million and 66% of people with HIV infection living in the region. The overall prevalence of contraceptive use in Nigeria is low, especially among men; the uptake of contraception and the type of contraceptive use are heavily influenced by the male/husband dominance in the society/family. Methodology: The study was carried out among HIV-positive male patients in Saye, Zaria, using a descriptive cross-sectional study among 265 respondents. Chi-square and multivariate logistic regression were used to determine factors influencing contraceptive usage. Results: The mean age of respondents was 45.6 ± 11.7 years. Only 61.9% of the respondents have ever used contraception, out of which 56.7% are currently using contraception. The identified reason for not using contraception was because they both were HIV positive (29%). There was a significant association between age, marital status, and level of education of respondents and current use of contraception with a P value of 0.001, <0.001, and 0.004, respectively. Conclusion: There were low usage of contraception and poor acceptance of vasectomy. There should be adequate policies in place by the government to encourage male involvement in the utilization of contraception.
