Pharmacologic strategies for the prevention of HIV include vaccines, post-exposure prophylaxis with antiretroviral therapy, and topical microbicides. Vaginal microbicides have the potential to augment innate defenses in the genital tract but may also disrupt endogenous protection and increase HIV acquisition risk, as observed in clinical trials of nonoxynol-9. The initially disappointing results of microbicide clinical trials stimulated the development of more sensitive and comprehensive pre-clinical safety studies, which include dual-chamber culture systems to model the epithelial barrier and post-coital studies to evaluate the effects of semen and sexual intercourse on microbicide efficacy. This review discusses the key factors that contribute to a healthy female genital tract environment, the impact of semen on mucosal defense, and how our understanding of these mediators informs the development of effective vaginal microbicides.
预防 HIV 的药物策略包括疫苗、暴露后用抗逆转录病毒治疗和局部杀微生物剂。阴道杀微生物剂有可能增强生殖道的先天防御能力,但也可能破坏内源性保护并增加 HIV 感染风险,正如在非诺孕醇-9 的临床试验中观察到的那样。杀微生物剂临床试验最初令人失望的结果促使人们开发了更敏感和全面的临床前安全性研究,其中包括双室培养系统来模拟上皮屏障,以及性交后研究来评估精液和性交对杀微生物剂效果的影响。这篇综述讨论了有助于女性生殖道健康的关键因素、精液对黏膜防御的影响,以及我们对这些介质的理解如何为有效的阴道杀微生物剂的开发提供信息。
