Group I: Three TFV Medicated Douche SequencesExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Once enrolled, participants will complete a baseline sampling session and then three sequences of study product administration, along with sRAI and administration of autologous seminal fluid. Sequence A will be 1 TFV douche followed by sRAI; Sequence B will be one dose of TFV douche followed sRAI then a tap water douche; Sequence C will be 1 tap water douche followed sRAI then by a single dose of TFV douche. There will be a washout period of at least 14 days between sequences. Participants will have sequences administered in clinic or a research unit, followed by imaging and various specimen collections over 8 hours.
