Phase I Safety and Acceptability Study of the Vaginal Microbicide Agent PMPA Gel

NCT00028132 Phase 1 COMPLETED

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the PMPA gel, which kills microbes, in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected women. The majority of new HIV infections occur through heterosexual contact. A product that stops or slows the replication of HIV during sexual contact is needed. At present, there are no products that are completely effective. PMPA gel, also known as tenofovir, is an anti-microbe agent that may fight against sexual transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). It is applied to the vagina and gives women the ability to control their disease-prevention activity.
