Performance and Acceptability of the FC2 Female Condom When Used With and Without a Silicone Placebo Vaginal Ring-A Randomized, Crossover Trial.

21 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 15–24-year-olds of more than 80%, although lower increase of around 30% have been recorded in some African countries. 1 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. 22 Vaginal rings do not protect against STIs and pregnancy and if rings are introduced into a population with high rates of condom use at last high-risk sex, it would be crucial to support the use of both methods.
