Microbicide Research

Ok, I’ve done a little research on these microbicides that President Obama was talking about in his agenda. By definition a microbicide is a compound or substance whose purpose is to reduce the infectiousness of viruses, bacteria, and other microbes. Microbicides for sexually transmitted diseases are a more specific type of them.

There are different areas of study in microbicide research. The compounds that are designed to work vaginally are not also effective rectally. There is simply too big a difference in how these two areas of the body are put together.

I don’t think anyone should have to suffer from HIV or AIDS. It seems to me that this type of research is valuable, and can be put to good use not just in developed nations like ours, but in third world countries where AIDS is a MUCH worse problem.

If you hear of research being done on microbicdes for women, make sure that is what the research is for; don’t let someone feed you a line about it.

I hope that our president really means that he supports this research for women, and is not using it as an excuse for helping the homosexual agenda along. I question this because he did list his support of this research at the VERY BOTTOM of his gay rights agenda, which makes me wonder just how high of a priority this really is for him.

If you want more information on microbicides for sexually transmitted diseases, Wikipedia has a great article here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbicides_for_sexually_transmitted_diseases that makes a good starting point.
