Effects of Contraceptive Ring on Vaginal Microbiota, HIV Shedding and Local Immunity
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating NuvaRing for Bacterial Vaginosis and HIV. Completed, enrolled 120 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators propose to explore the hypothesis-supported by limited data-that a contraceptive vaginal ring (CVR) that is commonly used in the United States, the NuvaRing, will enhance women's genital and reproductive health. The investigators propose that this CVR will increase the bacteria that help the vaginal environment protect against infection by HIV and other STIs, and that in women who already have HIV, use of the CVR will lower the quantity of HIV that is shed in the female genital tract.
