First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a vaginal ring that slowly releases two medicines: dapivirine (to prevent HIV) and levonorgestrel (a contraceptive). Forty healthy women without HIV used the ring for 90 days. Researchers measured drug levels in blood and vaginal fluid and checked for side effects and bleeding changes. The goal was to see if the ring is safe and how the drugs are absorbed.
