Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of The Quatro Study is to assess the acceptability, preferences, user experience and effect on sexual behavior of four different vaginal microbicide or multi-purpose technology (MPT) delivery forms, using placebo products in 18-30 year old African women: rapidly disintegrating vaginal insert, intravaginal ring (IVR), film and gel. The study also examines adherence to the dosage forms through objective markers, developed for each dosage form prior to the commencement of the study.
