Official title
A Multisite, Open-label, Randomized Crossover Study Comparing Adherence to a Single Daily Dual Prevention Pill (DPP) Versus FTC/TDF and Combined Oral Contraception Separate Pill Dosing (2PR), Given for Pre-exposure Prophylaxis and Pregnancy Prevention in Women
Overview
To evaluate adherence to a single dual-prevention pill (DPP) compared with a two-pill regimen (2PR) for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and pregnancy prevention in women without HIV.
Detailed description
To evaluate adherence to a single DPP consisting of co-formulated Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate and Emtricitabine (FTC/TDF) plus combined ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel oral contraceptive (COC), compared with a two-pill regimen (2PR) consisting of daily oral FTC/TDF pill and combined COC pill, for pre-exposure prophylaxis PrEP and pregnancy prevention in women without HIV.
Interventions
- Drug DPP
Daily, single, co-formulated, FTC/TDF + combined ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel oral contraceptive pill - Drug 2PR
Daily, two-pill regimen of oral FTC/TDF and ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel oral contraceptive pill - Drug Free Choice
Choice of either DPP or 2PR
Primary outcome measures
