Detailed Description

Women comprise a growing proportion of new HIV infections worldwide. Intravaginal rings (IVRs) used to deliver microbicides have the potential to significantly reduce the heterosexual transmission of HIV if found to be safe, acceptable, and effective against HIV infection. This study will investigate the safety and acceptability of a non-medicated silicone elastomer IVR in sexually active HIV uninfected women.

The expected duration of this study for each participant is 16 weeks. Study participants will be randomly assigned to one of two arms. Participants in Group A will insert an IVR into their vagina at study entry. The IVR will remain in place for 12 weeks until removed by a physician. Follow up will continue for an additional 4 weeks after IVR removal. Participants in Group B will not receive an IVR, but will follow the same study schedule as those in Group A.
