- Abstract
"This publication is the product of a year-long, collaborative project to explore ways to raise the profile of microbicides. It involved an extensive literature review and broad consultation with European, US, and developing-country donors, scientists, women’s and other activist groups, and organisations with a potential commercial interest in microbicides. A microbicide - a product used vaginally to prevent infection - would offer the potential for women to protect themselves and their sexual partners from HIV and other STIs."
