STD: Chemical Condom - tenofovirFrom: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 30 Aug 2008 13:31:38 -0500 (CDT)
"The colorless odorless gel contains tenofovir, a drug approved in pill form by the FDA to treat patients with active HIV. In a recent phase two trial, Holmes and 200 other healthy women used the gel daily or before sex. "No more women asking your partner if he was comfortable wearing a condom or the awkwardness of figuring out how to phrase it and ask," Holmes said. "If you use the gel, you're in complete control of it." Preliminary studies found the gel is safe and easy to use. The next large scale study will show how effective it is in preventing HIV. Researchers are about to begin the next phase of their trials of the HIV gel -- a much larger study involving hundreds of women in Africa and other countries. Eventually, they also hope to test the gel's effectiveness in blocking other STDs besides HIV."
