| acceptability of an existing, female-controlled contraceptive method that could potentially protect against hiv: a comparison of diaphragm users and other method users. | the diaphragm, an internal barrier contraceptive device, is a candidate for a female-controlled method for preventing human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) and other sexually transmitted infections (stis). this study's objective was to examine how women who use the diaphragm differ from women using the pill and/or condoms with respect to factors hypothesized to influence the acceptability of contraceptive methods. our goal was to increase understanding of who finds the diaphragm acceptable and why. | 2004 | 15193636 |
