Fig. 2From: Development and clinical assessment of new objective adherence markers for four microbicide delivery systems used in HIV prevention studiesMeasuring adherence by spectroscopy using the Agilent Cary 630 FTIR Spectrometer. A vaginal swab is placed directly on the “diamond” (red arrow) whereby a laser is projected onto the swab to generate a spectral scan. The spectral scan is analyzed through discriminant model algorithms on the laptop for a final “yes” or “no” outputBack to article page
