Pharmacokinetics of dapivirine transfer into blood plasma, breast milk, and cervicovaginal fluid of lactating women using dapivirine vaginal ring

This study assessed the pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability and adherence of the dapivirine vaginal ring used for 14 consecutive days by lactating women who were not breastfeeding. The research showed low concentrations of dapivirine in breast milk, indicating that daily infant exposure would also be low. Given this favorable safety profile, additional research is in development to assess the safety and drug detection of the dapivirine ring in breastfeeding mother-infant pairs in regions with higher incidence of sexually transmitted HIV infection.

Effect of self-administration versus provider-administered injection of subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate on continuation rates in Malawi: A randomised controlled trial

The authors found that women who self-administered subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC) led to a more than 50 percent increase in pregnancy protection through 12 months compared with provider-administered injection. The findings demonstrate that self-injection can address the stubborn problem of early contraceptive discontinuation and that community health workers can safely train women to self-inject. Malawi plans to introduce DMPA-SC self-injection based on these positive findings.
