What new preventive technologies are in development?
Print 
To answer the call for greater preventive options, new technologies such as vaccines and microbicides are currently undergoing research and development.  Microbicides are chemical compounds that women could apply topically before sex to block HIV transmission.  They are being researched in the form of a gel, film, sponge, lubricant or suppository.  A preventive AIDS vaccine would elicit an immune response to protect the body from HIV infection. A vaccine would be administered via injection or potentially orally.
