SILCS DIAPHRAGM STUDY--
FOR COUPLES LOOKING FOR HORMONE FREE BIRTH CONTROL
This nationwide study is testing a next generation diaphragm and gel designed to protect women against both pregnancy and infection. Future studies may show that this method can prevent the transmission of STDs, including HIV. Such a method could help improve women's health throughout the world. Contoured to a woman's body, the experimental diaphragm is designed so that it can't be felt by either partner.
WHAT COUPLES WILL DO IN THE SILCS DIAPHRAGM STUDY
You will use the SILCS Diaphragm with gel as your only method of birth control for 7 months.
You and your partner will begin your study participation at a paperwork visit where we will answer your questions. If eligible, the female partner will return for a free exam and diaphragm fitting. Over the next 7 months, there are 3 more exam visits. Throughout the study you will keep a record of how you use the diaphragm and gel.
