Depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) is associated with HIV acquisition. We studied changes in vaginal microbiota and inflammatory milieu after DMPA initiation. In a cohort of HIV-negative Kenyan women, we collected monthly vaginal swabs over 1 year pre- and post-DMPA. Using quantitative PCR, we compared quantities of Lactobacillus crispatus, L. jensenii, L. iners, Gardnerella vaginalis, and total bacterial load (16S rRNA gene levels). Six vaginal immune mediators were measured with ELISA. Trends in detection and quantity of bacteria were estimated by logistic and linear mixed-effects regression. From 2010-2012, 15 HIV-seronegative women initiated DMPA, contributing 85 visits (median 6 visits/woman (range 3-8)). The median time of DMPA-exposed follow-up was 8.4 months (range 1.5-11.6). Seven women (46%) had bacterial vaginosis (BV) within 70 days before DMPA start. Lactobacillus iners was detected in 13 women (87%) prior to DMPA start, but other lactobacilli were rarely detected. Gardnerella vaginalis declined by 0.21 log10 copies/swab per month after DMPA exposure (p=0.01). Total bacterial load declined by 0.08 log10 copies/swab per month of DMPA (p=0.02). Sustained declines in interleukin (IL)-6 (p=0.03), IL-8 (p=0.04) and IL-1 receptor antagonist (p<0.001) were also noted. Nine women (60%) had L. crispatus detected post-DMPA; which was significantly correlated with reduced IL-6 (p=<0.01) and IL-8 (p=0.02). Initiation of DMPA led to sustained shifts in vaginal bacterial concentrations and levels of inflammatory mediators. Further studies are warranted to outline components of the vaginal microbiota influenced by DMPA use, and impact on HIV susceptibility.
