FERNANDEZ ROMERO, José A et al. Microbicides for preventing sexually transmitted infections: Current status and strategies for preclinical evaluation of new candidates. Rev. argent. microbiol. [online]. 2014, vol.46, n.3, pp.256-268. ISSN 0325-7541.

Microbicides are a new tool, still under investigation, which could help prevent infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Increasing evidence shows that the complexity of sexual transmission of viral pathogens requires the identification of compounds able to block the early events during the cycle of viral infection. In this manuscript we provide a comprehensive review of the different microbicide strategies that have been studied or are currently being considered for STI prevention, particularly emphasizing those having the potential to block HIV infection. The manuscript also reviews the complex process that is required to conduct future clinical studies in humans and concludes with a brief discussion of the strategies that could be part of the immediate future in microbicide research.

Palavras-chave : HIV; HSV-2; HPV; Microbicides; Antiviral.
