Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Safety of intravaginal 5-FU

    Safety will be evaluated as type, frequency, and severity of Adverse Events (AE)s. AEs will be evaluated according to the National Institute of Health (NIH) Division of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (DAIDS) Adverse Event Grading Tables. The DAIDS grading table provides an AE severity grading scale ranging from grades 1 to 5. Grade 1 indicates a mild event, Grade 2 indicates a moderate event, Grade 3 indicates a severe event, Grade 4 indicates a potentially life-threatening event and Grade 5 indicates death.

    Up to 5 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Tolerability of intravaginal 5-FU

    Up to 5 months

  • Adherence of intravaginal 5-FU

    Up to 5 months

  • Acceptability of intravaginal 5-FU

    Up to 20 weeks

  • Uptake of intravaginal 5-FU

    Up to 20 weeks

Study Arms (1)

5-FU Arm

EXPERIMENTAL

intravaginal 2g 5-fluorouracil cream in every two weeks

Drug: Intravaginal 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)

Interventions

Participants will self-administer 2 g of 5% 5-FU intravaginally using an applicator, one night per week (every other week), on weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, for a total of 8 applications.
