Table 2.

Model estimates of the annual probability of a woman acquiring HIV in one year, assuming that a microbicide reduces the per sex act risk of HIV acquisition by 60%, for different patterns of product use and assumptions about the likelihood that her sexual partner is HIV-infected

Percent of women becoming HIV-infected in one year

Probability partner HIV-infected

100 75 50 25 1
No product use 21.0 15.7 10.5 5.2 0.2
20% condom use, no microbicide use 17.7 13.3 8.9 4.4 0.2
0% condom use, 75% microbicide use 12.9 9.6 6.4 3.2 0.1
50% condom use, no microbicide use 12.4 9.3 6.2 3.1 0.1
20% condom use, 75% microbicide use 10.8 8.1 5.4 2.7 0.1
50% condom, 75% microbicide use 7.5 5.7 3.8 1.9 0.1
Assumes 1 sexual partner, 100 sex acts per year, 5% of HIV-infected partners have increased risk of transmission due to high viremia, condoms reduce per sex act transmission risk by 95%, male-to -female HIV transmission probability 0.193%.
