The vaginal ring is made of silicone, it’s flexible and it continuously releases the anti-HIV drug dapivirine.
An experimental vaginal ring that continuously releases the anti-HIV drug dapivirine has the potential to save lives.

But what’s it going to do to sex lives?

That’s a question researchers posed as part of the ASPIRE study, which tested the flexible silicone rings with women ages 18 to 45 living in Malawi, South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe. And it’s a practical one, explains Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which funded ASPIRE. The less obtrusive a form of prevention is, the easier it is to convince people to use it.

“Something not noticeable is great,” Fauci says.

The encouraging news, gleaned from ASPIRE staff interviews with 214 of the 2,629 participants, is that sex with the ring wasn’t much different — at least physically.

What happens in people’s bedrooms, however, is also psychological. Some women reported worrying about what would happen if their partners felt or discovered the ring, which is 2.2 inches in diameter and a third of an inch thick. They feared being interrogated in the middle of sex, despite the fact that Fauci notes, “That’s not what happens. It’s less obvious than a diaphragm.” But because of this anxiety, several women slipped out the ring prior to intimate contact, while others avoided certain positions.
