Abstract
The Population Council is leveraging its innovative ring technology to develop a range of next-generation prevention products that advance the science of HIV prevention. These include a three-month dapivirine-only vaginal ring as well as combination rings that leverage the potency of different ARVs.
There will be no single solution to ending the epidemic—stopping HIV will require a variety of options. Research from the family planning field has shown that when more options are available, women are able to choose what best fits their circumstance and life stage. This means that there is an urgent need to expand the number of available options for HIV prevention from which women can choose.
