Characteristics of women screened for a contraceptive intravaginal ring study in Kisumu, Kenya, 2014.

ABSTRACT:

Background

HIV antiretroviral-based intravaginal rings with and without co-formulated contraception hold promise for increasing HIV prevention options for women. Acceptance of and ability to correctly and consistently use this technology may create challenges for future ring-based microbicide trials in settings where this technology has not been introduced. We examined baseline factors associated with enrolling in a contraceptive intravaginal ring study in Kisumu, Kenya and describe notional acceptability (willingness to switch to a contraceptive ring based solely on information received about it).

Methods

Demographic, psychosocial, and behavioral eligibility screening of women 18-34 years was undertaken. Testing for pregnancy, HIV, and other sexually transmitted infections
