The DREAM study was initiated in August 2016 as a continuation of the RING study. DREAM stands for Dapivirine Ring Extended Access and Monitoring. In the DREAM study, the long-term effect of the ring application is now to be observed and documented.
The DREAM research team tours schools and youth centers and brings the topic of the Ring Study and the follow-up study closer to young women and men. Pregnancy prevention and HIV prevention are topics that require attention from young people. The Ndlovu team has built up a trusting relationship with the young people in the area.
For further clarification, a film has also been produced that clearly explains the topics of the RING study and the DREAM study.
