When it comes to protection against sexually transmitted diseases, especially HIV, you could imagine that if you were fully informed about the various ways of protecting, they have everything they can to use any combination of protection, they can. Unfortunately, this is not always the case with those who are sexually active well-informed about the protection. The results of a study by researchers at Brown University and Miriam Hospital was conducted to show these women who are not in a monogamous relationship, but who are sexually active, protection and exploitation in the past are more likely to use the candidate microbicides. Microbicides are substances that are applied to prevent and stop the spread of a virus (in this case, a gel for the treatment of HIV infection). To date, no microbicide on the market that have proven to prevent HIV, although many have noted and have been throughout the process of clinical trials underway.

Principal Investigator Kathleen Morrow, said that although the findings may sound obvious, they are important because science has very little direct evidence that would have the characteristics and situations in the lives of women most likely to use a microbicide want to infection with HIV to prevent. "She goes to say that even if a microbicide has been demonstrated in the prevention of HIV infection to be effective if a woman felt that using reduced sexual experiences or difficult to use, do not chose this woman to Despite the obvious advantages. With Morrow, researchers have a scale as "willingness to use microbicides development. This scale is a questionnaire that was administered to over 500 women from New York, Rhode Iceland, Connecticut and Massachusetts. These women were all between 18 and 55, at the time not be pregnant, not infected with HIV are (or unknown) and sexually active throughout the year. Selected questions of whether the woman buying the Trojan Vibrating Touch Finger Massager examined, and whether or not a woman would buy a microbicide if their Cost is comparable to a condom. Many variables were considered, such as household income, race, condoms and spermicide use frequency and number of partners, to name a few.

The study showed women who have often used condom use and / or a spermicide in the past and the women who do not have a partner were more likely to microbicide, if present. Morning reads: "As a woman defines or labels her sexual partnership appears to have an influence on his decision in terms of protecting themselves against HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Researchers have an interesting observation that many women who are currently in monogamous relationships do not perceive the need to put additional protections, but it's a known fact that, worldwide, women who contract HIV are more likely to believe the people who receive them) is their monogamous sexual partners (in most cases a man. For this reason, Morrow suggests that, for all women, including women who are trained "monogamous" relationships based on different methods of contraception they use is of critical importance. Morrow and his colleagues wanted to study multiple variables and Refine belong to a more diversified and global study.
