Phase 2 Expanded Safety Study of Tenofovir Gel in Pregnancy
Preliminary research has shown that a vaginal gel containing the antiretroviral (ARV) drug tenofovir may reduce the risk of HIV infection in women when used near the time of sexual intercourse. This study will evaluate the safety of 1% tenofovir gel in HIV-uninfected pregnant women and their newborns when the gel is used once a day for a period of 28 days at a designated time during pregnancy.
