Performance of Male Condoms When Used With and Without a Silicone Placebo Vaginal Ring-A Randomized, Crossover Trial.

The rates of condom use (male and female) at last sex show a positive trend in many regions with some Latin American and European countries reporting rates among 15 to 24 year olds of more than 80%, although lower increase of around 30% have been recorded in some African countries. 4 In particular, condom use at last higher-risk sex has increased over the past 3 decades in most countries across the world and is as high as 80%–90% in some countries. 17 DVR vaginal rings do not protect against STIs and pregnancy and if introduced into a population with high rates of condom use at last high-risk sex, it would be important to support the use of both methods.
