AIDS Breakthrough: Gel Helps Prevent Infection - ABC News
First of all, why is this only being Tested on Heterosexuals?... Is it Proven Useless with Homosexuals?...
And this Dishonest Line from the Story:
In the U.S., nearly a third of new infections each year are among heterosexuals, he noted.
^That "nearly a third" includes IV Drug Use, which is #2 to Homosexual Sex...
This gel would be Patently USELESS for those People...
Also, the CDC Qualifies "Heterosexual" HIV Transmission as "High Risk", because they are either with Bisexual Men or with IV Drug Users in Many of the Cases.
Anyway, it's Interesting that this gel seems to only be being Tested on Heterosexuals...
This is also Interesting:
The study tested the gel in 889 heterosexual women in and near Durban, South Africa. Researchers had no information on the women's partners, but the women were heterosexual and, in general, not in a high-risk group, such as prostitutes.
If 1 in 3 Females are Infected in Africa by Age 20... Aren't ALL Females Inherently "High Risk" in that Country?
Maybe I'm Missing something.

peace...
