Summary
This study is the first to try this product in the rectum of humans. This study is only to
find out if the gel is safe for use in the rectum, not to see if the gel works. Information
gathered from this study will help investigators decide whether this gel is safe enough to
move onto the next phase of studies.
Information gathered from this study will also help investigators determine what participants
did and did not like about the product and what types of products people might want to use in
the future. Currently condoms and abstinence are the only methods proven to prevent the
spread of HIV sexually.
