A major breakthrough in HIV prevention is on the horizon with the results of two clinical trials of women showing the dapivirine vaginal ring significantly reduces risk of HIV infection.

Researchers in the United States confirm that a trial in which American teenagers used a vaginal ring to prevent HIV infection has proved successful.
A new study will be conducted in Africa. The 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. http://www.hillscope.com/vagina-ring/
