High Interest in the PrEP (Dapivirine) Ring Among U.S. Low-Income Latina Women
There is an urgent need for additional PrEP choices in U.S. Latinas. We conducted a hypothetical acceptability study on the dapivirine/PrEP ring among a low-income, predominantly Latina population. One hundred fifty-two women recruited from a community clinic waiting room attended a brief informational session and completed an onsite survey. We explored predictors of interest in future ring use. Most women (77%) elected Spanish survey language (S…

HIV Risk Behaviors Among Latina Women Tested for HIV in Florida by Country of Birth, 2012
Men don't need to know everything’
Worldwide, women report the need for safe, non-hormonal, woman-initiated methods of family planning. Cervical barriers provide such technology but are under-researched and under-promoted. In the USA, there are few studies of cervical barriers among women at high unmet need for contraception. A feasibility study of the FemCapTM was conducted among US women of Haitian origin. Participants were heterosexual and seeking to avoid pregnancy. At first v…
Basic body knowledge in street-recruited, active drug-using women enrolled in a “body empowerment” intervention trial
BACKGROUND: Drug-using women remain at high risk for HIV infection. Female condoms (FC) have proven potential and cervical barriers have promise to reduce HIV risk; their effective use may be boosted by familiarity and confidence about female anatomy. Women with high levels of crack cocaine use were assessed for their knowledge about reproductive anatomy, HIV/STI risk, as well as cancer screening behaviors. METHODS: Women were recruited for a ran…
A community-based safer-sex intervention for women
This study tested the feasibility and short-term acceptability of a public health intervention for women aimed at reducing HIV/STD risk through counselling on a variety of protection methods, including the female condom, spermicides and diaphragms. Women from diverse community groups in Marseille, France participated in a five-session group intervention seeking to educate women about their bodies, teach protection skills, develop solidarity, and …

Commentary
A US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel has recommended that the female condom Reality be approved for contraception and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) prevention. Final FDA approval will mark the first official recognition of a woman-controlled method for protection against sexually transmitted disease. A female condom allows women to use just one method to respond to the twin anxieties of AIDS and unwanted pregnancy. I…
Commentary
Although sexually transmitted diseases, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), are a major concern for women, few prevention messages are targeted specifically to women. Those that are generally stress abstaining, altering the number or selection of partners, and urging partners to use condoms. But these behaviors may be unrealistic for many women, particularly women who are at highest risk for sexually transmitted diseases, because they r…
The Prentif Cervical Cap and Pap Smear Results
An analysis from a randomized study has suggested that a larger percentage of Class III Pap smears appears among Prentif cervical cap users three months after initiation of use of the method than among diaphragm users. This suggestion has been the basis of a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirement that women seeking to use the cap have Pap smears taken before initiating use and again after three months of use. The data fron the pivota…
