Not Always Good News...


Over the past few years, there's been talk of an anti-HIV vaginal gel.  According to this article, it seemed to work well in trials at preventing infection.  It didn't do well in the field.   Compared to the placebo gel, a near identical number contracted HIV.  The researchers blame the failure on lack of adherence & proper use.  This may be true.   It doesn't matter how great it might be, without a easily followed regimen, the gel is fairly much a failure.   Not all research ends with promise.
