PROGRAM
Microbicides

Nonclinical Laboratory Studies

The Population Council conducts basic research on the sexual transmission of HIV and the immunological processes involved, as well as reproductive biology, which serves as the basis for the development of new AIDS-prevention products and contraceptive methods.

The Council's candidate microbicides are at different stages of development and testing. Its microbicide candidate, Carraguard®, has completed its Phase 3 clinical trial to assess long-term safety and effectiveness. (results)

Newer formulations are in earlier stages of testing.
