About the PrEP ring
I chose the dapivirine ring because when I was using pills I would be out with my friends and forget to take it. Also, when I was taking the pills, I had to explain to my boyfriend why I am taking the medication. Now using the ring, I am free, I am the only one knowing about using it. I don’t worry about forgetting taking it every day
