Condoms, especially when used in conjuction with a microbicide, will still be the safest option. But for people who can’t or won’t use condoms (sex workers, women who are unable to require their sex partners to use a condom), an HIV microbicide could provide a critical option that they could control without the consent, or even the knowledge, of their sexual partners.
