AIDSinfo At-a-Glance Issue No. 29July 21 , 2006
AIDSinfo.nih.gov is pleased to provide you with a weekly update of highlights about what has happened in the world of HIV/AIDS treatment, prevention, and research. We hope you find this encapsulated view of HIV/AIDS news useful.
A new article in the journal Public
Library of Science Pathogens reports that a microbicide made from a seaweed
extract called carrageenan may provide protection from human papillomavirus (HPV) in
addition to protection from HIV. Although carrageenan’s effect on HPV was
only evaluated in test tube experiments, researchers are excited to test
the microbicide’s efficacy in humans in clinical research. Clinical trials
testing carrageenan’s efficacy against HIV infection are already underway.
You can read
more about carageenan and HPV and can find detailed information about
carageenan and HIV in AIDSinfo’s Drug Database.
