SamenvattingThis issue of Exchange focuses on promises and concerns with regards to new HIV prevention technologies, both existing and under study. HIV and AIDS statistics remind us that safe and effective HIV prevention methods such as microbicides, vaccines, genital herpes suppression medicines and use of antiretrovirals as pre-exposure prophylaxis are urgently needed to reduce HIV infections. Before these can be produced, their safety and efficacy need to be established through clinical trials. Currently many of these approaches are being tested, requiring more than 80,000 participants worldwide to participate. Yet recruiting volunteers to participate is a serious challenge that slows down efforts of coming up with new HIV prevention methods in the near future.
