Last week, at #HIVR4P2024 in Peru, Nelly Mugo of @KEMRI_Kenya and Lisa Haddad of the @Pop_Council also shared research highlighting the need for choice when it comes to contraception and prevention of #HIV and other #STIs, as no single product will appeal to every person.

We are pleased to announce at #HIVR4P2024 that a 3-month #DapivirineVaginalRing will be as effective as the 1-month ring.
