Pills or gel might be more effective because those are under their control. So, it makes perfect sense to see what "takes" in this specific population. @s, Africa has a huge HIV/AIDS problem, that’s way–it’s got most of the world’s infected people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV/AIDS_in_Africa

SPAM ALERT!! Now - as to the article.... I for one am in the "wait and see" group. Science does not always move at the velocity we would like. My only question is why they are testing on people in Africa? Surely the sample size in the USA is large enough for a proper study. Don't get me wrong...but the drug company is likey in the USA. HIV is in the USA. Why go to the extra cost of going to the other side of the world? hmm…reading the above posts leads me to conclude…
