Dapivirine Ring
a vaginal ring that could dramatically reduce the risk of HIV in women
Developed by IPM over the past 10 years, the ring reduced infections by approximately 30 percent overall, with differences in efficacy seen by age. Notably, new analyses announced in July 2016 support a strong trend toward higher efficacy with more consistent ring use, suggesting that the ring cuts HIV risk by at least 56 percent among those who use it most frequently, and possibly much higher with near-perfect use.
