Anti-HIV gel fails key trial in S. African women - AIDS- msnbc.com

Anti-HIV gel fails key trial in S. African women - AIDS- msnbc.com: "The first anti-AIDS vaginal gel to make it through late-stage testing failed to stop HIV infection in a study of 6,000 South African women, disappointed researchers announced Monday.

The study was marred by low use of the gel, which could have undermined results, they said. Women used it less than half the number of times they had sex, and only 10 percent said they used it every time as directed."
