A New Vaginal Ring To Prevent HIV To Be Tested In Africa After Trials In America Was Successful!
Researchers in the United States confirm that a trial in which
American teenagers used a vaginal ring to prevent HIV infection has
proved successful.
Now, a further study will be run with teenagers in Africa. The girls
used a flexible plastic ring, embedded with anti-retroviral drugs,
which was changed every month over a six-month period.
The research is part of a drive to develop a device which women can
use to protect themselves from HIV infection, so they don't have to rely
on men to wear condoms.
Reporting the development at a conference about HIV science in Paris,
the researchers said they were encouraged that the girls used the ring
and said they liked it.
