The vaginal ring that can prevent HIV infection

The first thing you probably know about HIV is that unprotected sex with an infected partner is the main way of transmission. Unsafe sex is reportedly the single leading risk factor contributing to deaths among women aged between 15 and 45. 

Females are generally more susceptible to HIV infection, with Aids-related illnesses being the leading cause of death among women of reproductive age worldwide in low and middle income countries. In Sub-Saharan African for instance, this population forms 60 per cent of the total HIV infections.
