This research aim to determine the knowledge, perception and uptake of contraception among HIV positive male patients at Saye-Zaria. This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study with collection of quantitative data through questionnaire and qualitative data with Focused group discussion (FGD). The majority (85.1%) of respondents have heard about contraception, most had good perception, and only 61.9% of the respondents have ever used contraception. There was a significant association between level of education and perception. In conclusion there was high knowledge, low usage and poor acceptance of contraception. Therefore, the government should put adequate policies in place to encourage male involvement in the utilization of contraception.
