The Effects of Cranberry Juice on Bacterial Adhesion
Bacterial VaginosisOxaluriaThe study is based on the hypothesis that consumption of cranberry juice products results in the production of metabolites in the urine that have anti-adhesive properties on bacteria. A crossover study using 12 healthy women will be given different cranberry products or water as a control and their urine will be analyzed for anti-adhesive effects and compared to the properties of the urine. Cranberry juice will also be evaluated for its effect on vaginal microflora.
Effects of Contraceptive Ring on Vaginal Microbiota, HIV Shedding and Local Immunity
Bacterial VaginosisHIVThe investigators propose to explore the hypothesis-supported by limited data-that a contraceptive vaginal ring (CVR) that is commonly used in the United States, the NuvaRing, will enhance women's genital and reproductive health. The investigators propose that this CVR will increase the bacteria that help the vaginal environment protect against infection by HIV and other STIs, and that in women who already have HIV, use of the CVR will lower the quantity of HIV that is shed in the female genital tract.

Probiotic for Vaginal Candidiasis in Pregnant Women

LACTIN-V Study for Recurrent Bacterial Vaginosis
Bacterial VaginosisThis Phase 2b trial is designed to provide a screening evaluation for the hypothesis that, following a 5-day treatment with MetroGel® to treat BV, L. crispatus CTV-05 (LACTIN-V, Osel, Inc.) administered at 2 x 10^9 cfu/dose using a vaginal applicator reduces the 12-week incidence of BV recurrence when compared to placebo. The primary objectives of this study are: 1) To estimate the efficacy of repeated doses of LACTIN-V (2 x 10^9 cfu/dose) as compared to placebo in preventing BV recurrence by 12 weeks following treatment of BV with MetroGel vaginal gel (MetroGel). 2) To assess the safety of LACTIN-V over 24 weeks by comparing the incidence of AEs between individuals randomized to LACTIN-V or placebo.
Clindamycin to Reduce Preterm Birth in a Low Resource Setting
PregnancyPrematurity2 morePreterm birth has been linked to certain types of vaginal infections. The goal of this study is to determine if giving women pregnant between 13-20 weeks with an elavated vaginal pH(evidence of this type of infection)Oral Clindamycin(an antibiotic)will have a lower rate of preterm birth compared to women given a placebo(starch)
