Re: NARI Trial on the Safety of PRO 2000 Vaginal Gel

[Guest guest]

Hi to the forum readers from melbourne,

Re: NARI Trial on the Safety of PRO 2000 Vaginal Gel. I was interested in this

read. I am quite concerned about the fact that microbicide research is directed

specifically and almost unilaterally towards protection in a penile vaginal

action.

I was puzzled by the requirement that condoms would also be required by the male

partners. Can someone explain what the Gel is supposed to do if the partner is

using a condom?

As much potential for the spread of HIV occurs in penile anal action and I am

curious about whether this product is suitably non toxic for intra anal use.

Several times I have flagged efforts that people are using to minimise infection

risk with unprotected anal intercourse which suggests that there would be quite

a few candidates for such research.

Is the PRO 200 Gel available for this purpose?

Thanking you

Geoffrey
