  2. Mission • To develop a female-controlled prevention option for HIV The CAPRISA 004 study was conducted to establish whether the vaginal use of tenofovir gel is safe and whether it can prevent male-to-female sexual transmission of HIV. Specifically, researchers conducted CAPRISA 004 to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of tenofovir in comparison to a placebo gel (a matched gel with no active ingredient) in sexually active women at risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in South Africa.
