a

All values correspond to time points with IVR in place (n = 4).

b

Data represent proportions of samples that contained quantifiable drug levels.

c

Interquartile range (25th to 75th percentile).

d

Data represent nanograms per sample.

e

Sample collected from the midvagina, ventral.

f

Sample collected from the midvagina, dorsal.

g

Data represent CVL fluid uncorrected for CVF dilution.

h

Data correspond to drug levels in CVF compensated for dilution during the CVL procedure.

i

Data represent femtomoles per sample.

j

BLQ, below LLQ.
