A latent trajectory analysis of young sexual and gender minorities’ adherence to three rectal microbicide placebo formulations (MTN-035; a randomized crossover trial)
NCT03671239 (14/09/2018)
Implementation of a fidelity monitoring process to assess delivery of an evidence-based adherence counseling intervention in a multi-site biomedical HIV prevention study
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) trials often implement counseling to support product adherence. Counseling fidelity can vary significantly across providers and time. Fidelity monitoring can ensure that counseling is delivered as designed. We describe the process, feasibility, and outcomes of monitoring Options counseling fidelity in an open-label study of the dapivirine vaginal ring MTN-025/HOPE. After initial training, 63 counselors from 14 site…
Feasibility and Safety of IUD Insertion by Mid-Level Providers in Sub-Saharan Africa
CONTEXT: The copper IUD is safe and effective, but underutilized in Sub-Saharan Africa, in part because of a lack of trained providers. The World Health Organization recommends training mid-level providers-including nurses and midwives-to insert IUDs; however, the safety of such task shifting has not been evaluated in Sub-Saharan Africa. METHODS: Data were drawn from baseline surveys and study charts of 535 sexually active women aged 18-45 who us…
Preferred Physical Characteristics of Vaginal Film Microbicides for HIV Prevention in Pittsburgh Women
Use of a Vaginal Ring Containing Dapivirine for HIV-1 Prevention in Women
BACKGROUND: Antiretroviral medications that are used as prophylaxis can prevent acquisition of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. However, in clinical trials among African women, the incidence of HIV-1 infection was not reduced, probably because of low adherence. Longer-acting methods of drug delivery, such as vaginal rings, may simplify use of antiretroviral medications and provide HIV-1 protection. METHODS: We conducted a ph…
Combination HIV prevention for female sex workers: What is the evidence?
Tenofovir-Based Preexposure Prophylaxis for HIV Infection among African Women
BACKGROUND: Reproductive-age women need effective interventions to prevent the acquisition of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. METHODS: We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled trial to assess daily treatment with oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), oral tenofovir-emtricitabine (TDF-FTC), or 1% tenofovir (TFV) vaginal gel as preexposure prophylaxis against HIV-1 infection in women in South Africa, Uganda, and Zimb…
Association between Bacterial Vaginosis and Preterm Delivery of a Low- birth-weight Infant
Escherichia coli bacteriuria and Contraceptive Method
We evaluated the effects of contraceptive method on the occurrence of bacteriuria and vaginal colonization with Escherichia coli in 104 women who were evaluated prior to having sexual intercourse, the morning after intercourse, and 24 hours later. After intercourse, the prevalence of E coli bacteriuria increased slightly in oral contraceptive users but dramatically in both foam and condom users and diaphragm-spermicide users. Twenty-four hours la…
