Summary
Topical microbicides, substances that kill microbes, are being studied to prevent sexual
transmission of HIV and other disease pathogens. In the future, topical microbicides may be
applied vaginally to prevent both acquisition and transmission of HIV and other sexually
transmitted infections (STIs). The purpose of this study is to compare the safety of daily
applications of Acidform lubricant and HEC gel in healthy women at low risk for HIV infection
and assess the effect of a microbicide candidate on the natural immunity women have to STI
pathogens.
