Cape Town — Prevention scientists attending the 5th IAS Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention (IAS 2009) have cautioned against not preparing for the success of Microbicides and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) trials.
Results from a clinical trial released earlier this year by the Microbicides Trial Network (MTN) showed that PRO 2000 vaginal gel showed promise with a 30% HIV prevention rate.
MTN is currently running a phase III trial on Pro2000 involving more than 9389 women and aims to release the results by the end of the year.
Another study underway is the MTN-001 trial, an adherence and drug absorption study. It will determine whether antiretrovirals (ARVs) can be used effectively for HIV prevention in the form of a applicator gel or a pill that can be taken orally once a day - also known as PrEP.
The MTN-001study is investigating issues that will inform a follow-up study by the Vaginal and Oral intervention to Control the Epidemic (VOICE).
VOICE, whose trials are set to begin in Zimbabwe in August will address whether women will be more comfortable applying a gel every day or taking a pill daily.
Numerous other VOICE trials will be initiated in Lusaka, Zambia and many other sites in South Africa by the Centre for the AIDS Programme of Research in South Africa (CAPRISA) and other institutions.
Dr Sharon Hillier, principal investigator for the Microbicide Trials Network (MTN) said they embarked on the study for a vaginal gel because women account for 60% of HIV infections across the globe.
She said the women who participated in the PRO 2000 research project reported preferring using the gel. However, developing a gel and a pill would give women more options as well as empower them to actively make decisions about their health.
"Women taking part in the trials reported enjoying using PRO 2000 gel so much that they didn't want to be taken off it after the trial", she said.
But there is a lot of uncertainty on whether developing countries will be able to afford providing PrEP to patients not yet infected when they are currently struggling to provide treatment to those already infected.
Dr François Venter, President of the Southern African Clinicians Society and Chairman of the 2011 SA AIDS Conference, said though the research shows promise there are numerous issues that need to be addressed.
He identified the need to look into how the programme is going to incorporated into other prevention programmes, and how the general public might be convinced to use gels as well as the accessibility of the products.
"South Africa has one of the greatest HIV prevalence rates in the world and only a fragment of people who should be on ART have access to drugs", he said.

HIV Aids - INVENTING THE AIDS VIRUS BY DR. PETER DUESBERG In his book he states that the so-called drug AZT was developed to kill T-Cells. T-Cells are what our bones need to make marrow.
Don't buy the hype..there is no AIDS!!!
PETER DUESBERG [ http://hiv-aids-factorfraud.com/ ] #2306 THE AIDS MAVERICK via Tony Browns Journal
Virologist Dr. Peter Duesberg emerged as one of the scientific communitys brightest talents when he discovered the viral gene that can cause cancer. This program examines his research and his controversial stance on AIDS that nearly destroyed his career

Jesus Christ said Except those days (of tribulation) be shortened , no flesh should be save . There are sinister forces at work, especially in Black Africa, trying to destroy us by HOOK or CROOK.
BY HOOK - Dr. Boyd E. Graves discovered the existence of a U.S. government- manufactured killing virus designed to kill Black People. It is called AIDS.
1. This manufactured AIDS has a cure that the persons who developed it hold the patent on.
2. Just Search using Dr. Boyd E Graves as a search word.
BY CROOK Dr. Peter Duesberg discovered that another form of AIDS was actually old diseases like pneumonia ( and other common diseases) which was renamed AIDS.
1. This so-called form of AIDS actually doesnt exist.
2. But since the persons falsely-diagnosed to have this imaginary form of AIDS are treated with drugs like AZT , they tend to die from. The treatment.
3. AZT was developed in 1958. It was developed to kill T-cells ; our source of life (the marrow in our bones ).
4. Also Search using Dr.Peter Duesberg , author of Inventing The Aids Virus
SO BEWARE OF THE AIDS GAME WITH YOUR LIFE AT STAKE.
And in the LAST DAYS, when sin is running rampant in the land, a FIERCE-LOOKING WISE KING shall come into power.
And his power shall be mighty. However The power he will have WILL NOT BE HIS OWN POWER.
And THROUGH HIS POLICY HE SHALL CAUSE WITCHCRAFT TO PROSPER.
And he shall magnify himself AND BY PEACE SHALL HE DESTROY MANY.
He shall also stand up againt Jesus Christ, but HE SHALL BE DESTROY by the brightness of Christs return.

[WHO'S AFRAID OF BEING THEMSELVES ALL THE TIME ? ]
[This inspiring poem was featuring in the movie Coach Carter ]
Our Deepest Fear Is Not That We Are Inadequate, Our Deepest Fear Is That We Are Powerful Beyond Measure. It Is Our Light , Not Our Darkness That Most Frightens Us.
We Ask Ourselves, Who Am I To Be Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented, And Fabulous ?
Actually Who Are We Not To Be ? You Are A Child Of God.
Your Playing Small Doesnt Serve The World.
There Is Nothing Enlightened About Shrinking So That Other People Wont Feel Insecure Around You.
We Are All Meant To Shine, As Children Do.
We Were Born To Make Manifest The Glory Of God That Is Within Us.
Its Not Just In Some Of Us; Its In Everyone.
And When We Let Our Own Light Shine We Unconsciously Give Other People Permission To Do The Same.
And As We Are Liberated From Our Own Fear, Our Presence Automatically Liberates Others
- Marianne Williamson -
[NOTE BEING AFRAID AND REFUSING TO GET INVOLVED WONT STOP US FROM DYING. BUT BEING AFRAID CAN PREVENT US FROM LIVING]
(Nkosi Sikeleli Africa )
God bless Africa May her glory be lifted high Hear our petitions .
God bless us, Your children God we ask You to protect our nation Intervene and end all conflicts Protect us, protect our nation, our nation.
From the blue of our heaven, From the depths of our sea, Over our eternal mountain ranges, Where the cliffs give answer.
Sounds the call to come together, And united we shall stand, Let us live and strive for freedom, In South Africa our land.
[Enoch Mankayi Sontonga]
