Preventive Misconception and Risk Behaviors in a Multinational HIV Prevention Trial.

CONCLUSIONS: A majority of trial participants expressed some belief that their risk of HIV infection would be reduced by using a vaginal ring, which may signal PM. However, such beliefs were not associated with adherence, condom use, or subsequent HIV infection, and there was variability across sites. Further work is needed to understand these findings.
