Study Summary

This research study is about vaginal infections such as bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and trichomoniasis. Usually, these infections can be treated with medication, but sometimes they come back after treatment. Researchers want to know if using vaginal suppositories can decrease the risk of vaginal infections. Participants will include 234 women who are sexually active (greater than or equal to 4 episodes of sex with men during the past month), HIV-negative, 18 to 45 years old, with bacterial infection \[vaginosis and/or vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and/or Trichomonas vaginalis\] detected by laboratory testing at a screening visit. Women will receive vaginal suppositories containing drug or inactive ingredients (placebo). Participation in the study will be about 12 months. Study procedures include: urine and blood tests, physical exams, and questionnaires.

Primary Outcome

Percentage of follow-up visits (Months 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) positive for VVC based on the presence of fungal elements (pseudohyphae, blastoconidia, or both) on vaginal saline wet mount plus a positive culture showing yeast on Sabouraud's agar.
