HIV-1 entry inhibitors as microbicides

  • Chapter
Entry Inhibitors in HIV Therapy

Part of the book series: Milestones in Drug Therapy ((MDT))

Abstract

Sexual transmission of HIV-1 is the major route for infection of both men and women [1]. During the early phase of the HIV pandemic in the western hemisphere and industrialized world, sexual transmission of HIV was regarded as a public health concern that mostly impacted men who have sex with men (MSM) and commercial sex workers and their male clients [2]. In the developing world, however, heterosexual transmission of HIV between sex partners both outside and within the context of the commercial sex industry was identified early on as a major driving force for the catastrophic rate of infection now reported in many regions of the world [2, 3].
