Abstract

Abandoning condoms for microbicides is termed \"condom migration\". This study estimated the reduction in condom use that can be tolerated following the introduction of an HIV- and sexually transmitted disease STD-efficacious microbicide without increasing an individual's risk of HIV infection, and explored how microbicide use affects HIV-risk.
