Looks like women may get a lower-dose PrEP vaginal ring

[rawTOP]

They're coming up with a monthly vaginal ring for women that delivers a lower dosage of PrEP drugs.

Since the drugs are delivered in the area of infection less is needed.

But only animal studies so far.

Interesting. I wonder how the anti HIV gels are coming along? I know they have focused on vaginal gels, but as gay men are a high risk group they should investigate anal gels or anti HIV lube.

This needs to be fast tracked for use in Africa ASAP. While female to male transmission in the US is somewhat rare, in places with lower hygiene levels, it is much more common. This could not only drastically reduce infection levels for woman, but also the men they have sex with.
