| It's a topical microbicide and we found that it inhibited malaria and toxoplasma. |
|
| But a safe microbicide would be an important weapon in the anti-AIDS arsenal. |
|
| Some opposed tenofovir's use in a microbicide because they worried that it would encourage the emergence of such resistance. |
|
| Treatment advocacy has worked to a very different timeframe as compared to vaccine and microbicide advocacy. |
|
| Funding for microbicide research has been at very low levels compared to treatments and vaccines. |
|
| A safe and effective microbicide has not yet been found, but nearly a dozen microbicides have entered human testing. |
|
| A microbicide is a compound whose purpose is to reduce the infectivity of viruses or bacteria. |
|
| Two of the microbicide candidates appeared to increase the risk of HIV acquisition in women. |
|
| The availability of an effective microbicide will save the lives of women in Canada as well as in other parts of the world. |
|
| Furthermore, some microbicide, treatment and vaccine products are by nature or effect closely related. |
|
| The primary concern of microbicide advocacy is to expand research and development efforts. |
|
| For some women, it is important that the action of the microbicide not impair their ability to conceive a baby. |
|
| The EC's initiatives to increase investments in developing new products, including AIDS and malaria vaccines, a microbicide and new medicines, are also encouraging. |
|
| Maraviroc, a powerful microbicide, is used as an active ingredient to the new product. |
|
| If there was comparable investment into microbicide research, it is thought that a safe and effective product would be on the market much sooner than a vaccine. |
