Preference, adherence and acceptability of three non-medicated intravaginal rings of differing external diameters: a randomized, crossover trial.

Background: No empirical data support the 54-58mm external diameter of intravaginal rings (rings) currently available and in development for contraception and other indications. Understanding how external diameter affects preference, adherence, and acceptability is critical for optimizing future product development.

Objectives: Our primary objectives were to determine which of three non-medicated rings of differing external diameters was preferred and yielded the highest adherence.

Improving Perinatal HIV Care during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Implementing a Mobile Integrated Health Program to Close the Gap.

Background: Pregnant people with HIV (PWH) often experience loss to follow-up and viral non-suppression after delivery, contributing to morbidity and HIV transmission. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted health systems and exacerbated health disparities, including for PWH and their infants. To improve perinatal HIV outcomes, we implemented a perinatal care program in September 2020 that offered multidisciplinary home visits through a Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) unit within a large, safety-net healthcare system in Atlanta, Georgia.
