  9. CONCLUSIONS • Tenofovir is a dual-targeted drug that suppresses both HIV-1 and HSV replication. • Tenofovir at concentrations generated during oral drug administration that may (or may not) inhibits HIV transmission are substantially lower than those necessary to inhibit herpes-simplex viruses. • In general, these findings argue that “marginal” antiviral activities of a variety of existing drugs should be revisited to test for possibly missed antiviral activities since in topical applications these drugs may constitute new microbicides with dual or multiple antiviral properties.
