UK Funding for Anti-HIV Gel Trial
April 6, 2005
The UK government is to provide
£24m to fund a trial to assess how well a microbicide gel can prevent
HIV infection in women. Aids is the biggest killer in Africa, and most new HIV
infections occur among young African women. Research has shown an effective
gel, applied before sex, could prevent up to 2.5m HIV infections worldwide over
three years. An additional £2m will be provided by the Medical Research
Council.
