New Vaginal Gel Stops AIDS Virus (http://www.webmd.com/hiv-aids/news/20090304/new-vaginal-gel-stops-aids-virus)
Cosmetic Ingredient GML Protects Monkeys From AIDS Virus
March 4, 2009 -- A new kind of vaginal gel prevents sexual transmission of the AIDS virus in monkey studies.
The anti-HIV ingredient in the gel is glycerol monolaurate or GML. It's already FDA approved as an ingredient in cosmetics and medicines.
"The results are very encouraging. They point to a novel avenue to prevent sexual transmission of HIV," study researcher Ashley T. Haase, MD, head of the microbiology department at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, said at a telephone news conference.
The surprise finding that GML can block HIV comes from basic research showing that the AIDS virus gains a foothold in the vagina by taking advantage of the body's immune system. Immune responses to the virus draw T cells -- the white blood cells HIV loves to infect -- to the site of infection. Without T-cell recruitment, HIV loses its grip.
That's where GML comes in. The antimicrobial agent affects immune responses and breaks the chain of events that let HIV spread through the body.
"We thought if we could modulate the immune response at the portal of HIV entry, we could block sexual transmission," Haase said. "[Colleague] Patrick Schlievert's work with GML showed that it had many properties that might block HIV expansion and systematic spread."

Very interesting

No doubt related to the bullet-stopping gel you posted about in Military topics, except with some Febreze mixed in...

Cosmetic Ingredient GML Protects Monkeys From AIDS Virus
This wouldn't be a problem if people weren't having sex with monkeys . Ewwww

In reality, hopefully this can be improved from what they tested with now (a KY and mix of the GML). A whole lot of women in Africa are raped and get HIV that way, something like this could help those women.

I'm trying to remember, was it AIDS that they think first came from people eating monkeys, or was that Ebola?

Wouldn't be a problem if they were having vaginal sex. That goes for those girls in Africa being raped.
Might help some in China and India. Won't change a damn thing in San Fran.

Hopefully it can be improved from this version to something that COULD help those women. Maybe a pill form that could be taken for so long after the fact, or even a gel that could be applied afterward. That would help those women in Africa.

Funny thing that supports that type of shit, a culture is.

I'm thinking a .45 would be more effective.

Concrete: Better than a gel. Stops the AIDS virus and prevents pregnancies too.
