     A can be used for women's autonomy, "microbicides" will play the same role, and condoms can effectively kill the AIDS virus, thus slowing the spread of AIDS. At present, there are three products into clinical trials, is studying in China. This is the press on November 3 by the World Health Organization and the University Medical Center, public health, jointly organized the "China microbicide research and development of" an international seminar on access to information.

     "Microbicides is a broad-spectrum fungicides can effectively kill the HIV virus. But it's biggest advantage is their use by women without the need to rely on a partner." Comprehensive AIDS Research Center of Tsinghua University and executive deputy director of China Medical Academy of Sciences, Beijing Union Medical College, director of the Center for AIDS Research Professor Zhang Linqi explained that in 2006 China, in 2007, sexually transmitted HIV transmission has become the main way that we usually call for through the use of condoms to reduce the spread of risk, and microbicides are Add the vagina by women to effectively kill the AIDS virus and sexually transmitted pathogens. It is foreseeable that if the microbicide and the common use of condoms, the spread of AIDS has also greatly reduced the risks. But the current microbicide research and development is faced with some difficulties, the most critical technical difficulty, it is necessary to be able to kill HIV, the body itself can not kill existing bacteria, but also can not activate the surface of cells in the vagina, otherwise it will speed up the AIDS virulence of infection. Public Health South Medical Center, director of Wu Chih-wei of China engaged in "microbicides" study one of the experts, he said, the current series of international pre-products in the R & D, and some have entered clinical Phase I, Phase II and Phase III, China are also being considered, but has yet to develop a standardized platform, only carried out at the Institute.

     "In fact, of AIDS, the most crucial or prevention, as soon as it enters the body can not completely clear, at present only a temporary suppression of all drugs. But also for the AIDS vaccine research is very difficult, no breakthrough can be said that progress so far." As the development of the authority of an AIDS vaccine expert says张林琦, HIV enters the body, the body's immune system and there will be a long-term strength of the process, so that the immune system eventually lost. HIV is a virus, a most cunning, extremely subtle, it will enter the body cells, into a "traitor", the need to find infected cells can be targeted. Vaccine research and the current feeling a bit "chaotic releasing", but always grasp the crucial point, there is no induction of effective anti-HIV response, which is currently the largest confusion. International debut last year, hundreds of types of vaccines, the only valid species三四十, clinical, there are only two of the three, but the effect is not good.
