NCT ID NCT07627958
First seen Jun 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how two types of birth control devices—copper IUDs and hormonal IUDs—affect the bacteria in the vagina and the risk of infections. About 120 HIV-negative women aged 18-40 will be randomly assigned to one device and followed for a year. Researchers will collect samples every 3 months to measure changes in vaginal microbes, signs of infection, and overall vaginal health.
