Assessing the Effect of Contraception and the Menstrual Cycle on Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Vaginal Safety in Tenofovir Vaginal Gel Users
The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of two contraceptive methods and the menstrual cycle on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics of tenofovir 1% gel and the effect of the contraceptive methods on markers of mucosal safety.

In a mutually monogamous same-sex relationship for at least the last 4 months with a partner who is at least 18 years of age and has no known HIV infection or risks for STIs - Vaginal and cervical anatomy that, in the opinion of the investigator, lends itself to easy genital tract sample collection - Negative urine pregnancy test - Willing to give voluntary consent, sign an informed consent form and comply with study procedures, as required by the protocol Exclusion Criteria: - History of hysterectomy - Currently pregnant or within 2 calendar months from the last pregnancy outcome. (Note: If recently pregnant must have had at least 2 spontaneous menses since pregnancy outcome.) - Use of any hormonal contraceptive method in the last 30 days (oral, transdermal, transvaginal, implant, or hormonal intrauterine contraceptive device) - Injection of DMPA in the last 6 months - Protection from pregnancy by presence of a copper IUD - Currently breastfeeding or having breastfed an infant in the last 2 months, or planning to breastfeed during the course of the study - History of sensitivity/allergy to any component of the study product, or topical anesthetic, or allergy to both silver nitrate and Monsel's solution - Diagnosed with or treated for any STI or pelvic inflammatory disease in the last 6 months. (Note: Women with a history of genital herpes or condylomata who have been asymptomatic for at least 6 months may be considered for eligibility.) - Positive test for Trichomonas vaginalis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae or Chlamydia trachomatis - Symptomatic vulvovaginal candidiasis, Nugent score greater than or equal to 7 at screening or bacterial vaginosis (BV) at Visit 2, or urinary tract infection (UTI) - Deep epithelial genital findings such as abrasions, ulcerations, or lacerations, or vesicles suspicious for STIs - Positive test for HIV - Positive test for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) - Known bleeding disorder that could lead to prolonged or continuous bleeding with biopsy - Chronic or acute vulvar or vaginal symptoms (e.g., pain, irritation, or spotting) - Contraindications to the chosen contraceptive method - Known current drug or alcohol abuse which could impact study compliance - Grade 1 or higher laboratory abnormality, per the August 2009 update of the DAIDS Table for Grading the Severity of Adverse Events - Participation in any other investigational trial (device, drug, or vaginal trial) in the last 30 days or planned participation in any other investigational trial during the study - History of gynecological procedures (including genital piercing) on the external genitalia, vagina or cervix in the last 14 days - Abnormal finding on laboratory or physical examination or a social or medical condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would make participation in the study unsafe or would complicate interpretation of data - Systemic use in the last two weeks or anticipated use during the study of any of the following: corticosteroids, antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals or antiretrovirals |
