The data were reported at a meeting of the Nonprescription Drugs, Reproductive Health Drugs, Anti-Infective Drugs, and Antiviral Drugs advisory committees of the US Food and Drug Administration. Because of its favorable safety profile, Advantage 24 was the only product that UNAIDS selected for testing to determine its effectiveness against the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Therefore, in May 1996, Columbia Laboratories and UNAIDS announced the initiation of an international Phase III clinical study of Advantage 24 for the prevention of the heterosexual transmission of HIV and STDs in approximately 2000 women. Additionally, the NIH is performing similar testing in Africa. Advantage 24, which uses Columbia Laboratories' patented bioadhesive delivery system to deliver nonoxynol-9, currently is marketed in the US by Lake Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and in Canada by Roberts Pharmaceuticals, as a long-lasting, vaginally delivered spermicide, pursuant to strategic alliance agreements with Columbia Laboratories.</p>","PeriodicalId":84120,"journal":{"name":"AIDS weekly plus","volume":" ","pages":"8-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22028745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The survey, sponsored by UNICEF, was conducted by the John Snow Institute. Survey estimates are that 10,600 Brazilian children younger than 14 years have already lost their mothers to AIDS, 34,600 have mothers with AIDS, and 137,800 have mothers infected with HIV. Of these 183,000 children, 8% are infected with HIV. \"It's like saying 183,000 children have boarded an airplane without pilot, co-pilot, or flight attendants, flying without direction, lost in the air,\" said Miguel Fontes. \"We want these children to disembark again as citizens and members of the workforce.\" Further estimates were that the number of children orphaned by AIDS could more than double by the year 2000 and that support for each orphan could cost Brazil up to $16,000 annually. Preventive measures would only cost between $400 and $1000 annually per child, Fontes added. Preventive measures should include better access to HIV testing and treatment, he said, and programs directed at low-income families, custody plans for orphans and legal measures to support families affected by AIDS.</p>","PeriodicalId":84120,"journal":{"name":"AIDS weekly plus","volume":" ","pages":"13-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22028740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
