Tenofovir Microbicidial Gel for HIV • Teenage girls and young women, bear the brunt of the HIV epidemic in Africa • Tenofovir gel potentially adds a new approach to HIV prevention as the first that can be used and controlled by women. It could help empower women to take control of their own risk of HIV infection. • The CAPRISA 004 study is the first step - additional studies are urgently needed to confirm and extend the findings of the CAPRISA 004 trial • Once confirmed and implemented, tenofovir gel has the potential to alter the HIV epidemic. It is estimated that this gel could prevent 1.3 million new HIV infections and over 800,000 deaths in South Africa alone.
