Innovative Intravaginal Ring: A New HIV Prevention Method

The Intravaginal Ring, developed by the Population Council, offers a promising new approach to preventing HIV transmission. Similar to contraceptive vaginal rings, it incorporates MIV-150, a microbicide aimed at reducing the risk of HIV. Current efforts are focused on combining this technology with existing contraceptive methods. Human trials are expected to commence next year. To prevent HIV, it’s crucial to practice safe sex, avoid sharing needles, and ensure safe delivery methods such as Caesarean sections for HIV-positive mothers.
