The purpose of this study is to see if nonoxynol-9 (N-9) gel used in the vagina can prevent
the spread of HIV.
Most of the people with HIV in the world today live in southern Africa. Because this
population is not likely to use condoms, an HIV-prevention method that women can control is
needed. N-9 used in the vagina may help prevent the spread of HIV and other sexually
transmitted diseases.
