Not only are women biologically more prone to HIV, but social and poverty issues exacerbate the vulnerability of women to HIV infection. Such microbicides present an opportunity for women to take preventive measures into their own hands. Also, to date, no HIV prevention method allows conception, which is an issue that could hopefully be addressed by microbicides.

Read more about microbicides from the Global Campaign for Microbicides or from the Alliance for Microbicide Development.
