How much will microbicides cost, and will people be able to afford them?
It is essential that microbicides get into the hands of women and men who need it at a price they can afford. In the past, new health technologies have rarely become widely available in developing countries until more than a decade after their approval in the North, an unacceptable delay for this life-saving technology developed primarily with public funds. Advocates are working with researchers and policy makers now to emphasise the need to address issues of access and affordability up front, in order to be prepared to deliver a microbicide rapidly as soon as one is proven safe and effective.
