HIV prevention researchers and campaigners reacted with disappointment today when a trial of a tenofovir-containing microbicide gel was stopped because it had not prevented any more HIV infections than a placebo gel.
The VOICE (Vaginal and Oral Interventions to Control the Epidemic) trial is a large HIV prevention trial involving 5,029 women in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Uganda, run by the Microbicide Trials Network (MTN), a US-based research consortium funded by the US National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases.
