Study: Vaginal ring for HIV prevention safe in adolescent girls

A monthly vaginal ring that releases anti-HIV drugs was found to be safe and acceptable in an NIH-funded study of adolescent girls, according to data presented today at the 9th IAS Conference on HIV Science in Paris.

The experimental ring boasted better adherence throughout the study compared to a daily oral tablet, the researchers reported. The study is the first to test the vaginal, drug-eluting ring in girls younger than 18 years of age.
