Global Campaign goals:

Ensure that, as the science proceeds, the public interest is respected and rights of trial participants, users and communities are protected

The Advocates’ Message
• There is a broad-based, demonstrable demand for user-controlled prevention methods
• North American and European investment in microbicide research and development should be - substantially increased and- raised annually until first products reach the
market.
• Without this investment, we may not see user-controlled HIV prevention tools available within this decade.
