可阻艾滋病毒但不能避孕 科学家研发“分子安全套”http://www.sina.com.cn 2009年08月21日08:20 深圳晚报
据美国广播公司等媒体报道,美国犹他州州立大学科学家研制的“分子安全套”即将进入人体试验阶段。
这种安全套用于女性阴道内,它有多个形态。在使用前,它是一种液体;喷到阴道内,就会在局部形成一层薄薄的固态凝胶体保护层。可是当它的“目标入侵者”——艾滋病病毒出现时,它又变回液态:一方面,它像一张渔网,能拦截直径为100纳米的病毒;另一方面,若有漏网之鱼,也会被凝胶释放出来的抗病毒物质“消灭”。
科学家指出,当携带艾滋病病毒的精液出现时,“分子安全套”这种特别的杀菌剂就会被立刻激活。
据了解,这种“分子安全套”的保护作用能持续数天,甚至数周之久。然而,遗憾的是,这款安全套能挡住艾滋病病毒,却无法有效避孕。(据《生命时报》)

科学家指出,用于阴道内的抗艾滋病杀菌剂的研发,已经有近二十年的历史了。之前,研究人员做过各式各样的实验,从带有药物的环一直到“分子安全套”。后者真正与众不同之处,在于当携带艾滋病病毒的精液出现时,这种特别的杀菌剂就会被立刻激活。这可能是因为精液进入阴道后,会使阴道内的酸性降低,凝胶立即液化。目前,研究人员正在想办法,往凝胶中加入一些抗病毒药物,使其在对抗艾滋病病毒时,还能阻拦其他性传播疾病。

HIV resistance to contraception but not R & D scientists "molecular condom" http://www.sina.com.cn 2009 on 21 day 08 years the Shenzhen Evening News 08:20
According to ABC and other media, the United States, Utah State University scientists have developed a "molecular condom" is about to enter human trials.
This condom vagina for women, it has a number of forms. Before use, it is a liquid; sprayed vagina, it will in the local formation of a thin layer of gel-solid layer of protection. But when it's "goal of the invaders" - when the AIDS virus, it turned back into a liquid: on the one hand, it was like a fishing net to intercept a diameter of 100 nm virus; On the other hand, if they slip through the net, gel will be released from the anti-viral substances "eradication."
Scientists point out that when the semen HIV occurs, "molecular condom" This special will be immediately activated fungicides.
It is understood that such a "molecular condom" to the protective effect lasted for several days or even weeks. However, unfortunately, this can block the AIDS virus, condoms, contraception is not effective. (According to "Life Times")

But when it's "goal of the invaders" --- when the AIDS virus, it turned back into a liquid: on the one hand, it was like a fishing net to intercept a diameter of 100 nm virus; On the other hand, if they slip through the net will also be released from the gel anti-viral substances "eradication." "This sounds a bit like science fiction." Researchers, Professor Patrick bioengineering. Guissé introduced.
Scientists pointed out that for the anti-AIDS vaginal microbicides research and development, nearly two decades of history. Before, researchers had a variety of experiments with drugs from the Central to the "molecular condom." Truly distinguishes the latter is when the semen of HIV occurs, this special will be immediately activated fungicides. This is probably because after the semen into the vagina will reduce the acidity of the vagina, immediately liquefied gel. Currently, researchers are to find ways, to the gel to add some anti-viral drugs to the time in the fight against HIV, but also to prevent other sexually transmitted diseases.
It is understood that such a "molecular condom" to the protective effect lasted for several days or even weeks. However, unfortunately, this can block the AIDS virus, condoms, contraception is not effective. (Internship Editor Tsai Ming-Yi)
