Brief Summary

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

Cervical biopsies will be collected from women aged 18 and over whom are virally suppressed and taking tenofovir as part of their antiretroviral therapy regimen. Blood plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and cervicovaginal swabs will also be collected. Drug concentrations, hormone concentrations, inflammatory cytokines, and vaginal microbiome will be evaluated to understand the role of hormones, inflammation, and the microbiome in modulating drug efficacy in the female genital tract.
