Anti-HIV gel for women!




A vaginal gel that reduces a woman's risk of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)?! And it's even more effective against genital herpes as it is HIV?!

Yes, it's true.

The name of the gel is "Tenofovir Gel." It works by penetrating the skin and disrupting an enzyme that the Virus needs to duplicate itself.

The bad news is that it has not been FDA-approved yet, Sorry! We can expect a minimum 4-year wait before Tenofovir Gel is available =(
