Scientists Present Groundbreaking HIV Prevention Research

Research in the Oak Crest Institute of Science in Pasadena, California tells us now that there could possibly be a form of birth control that not only protects women from unplanned pregnancy, but also from sexually transmitted HIV and a herpes virus. Three drugs will be used in an intravaginal ring. These rings have been used before for contraception, but now we are able to put multiple drugs into these rings to also release antiretroviral drugs to protect from the diseases, as well. These rings, when used, could save countless women from diseases in poor countries.
