Brief Summary: This phase IIb two-arm double-blinded randomised placebo controlled trial comparing 1 Tenofovir gel with a placebo gel is an expanded safety and effectiveness trial involving 900 young women at risk of sexually transmitted HIV infection Participants will be provided with a supply of single-use pre-filled applicators according to their randomisation While in the study participants will be asked to apply a first dose of the assigned study gel within 12 hours prior to coitus and insert a second dose as soon as possible within 12 hours after coitus All participants will receive HIV risk reduction counselling condoms and syndromic treatment of sexually transmitted infections if required
Detailed Description: Purpose To assess the safety and effectiveness of tenofovir gel a candidate vaginal microbicide in sexually active women at risk for human immunodeficiency virus HIV infection in South Africa

Design Phase IIb two-arm double-blind randomised controlled trial comparing 1 tenofovir gel with a placebo gel

Study Population Sexually active HIV-uninfected women aged 18 to 40 years in South Africa

Study Size 900 women

Treatment Regimen Participants will be provided with a supply of single-use pre-filled applicators according to their randomisation While in the study participants will be asked to apply a first dose of the assigned study product 1 tenofovir gel or placebo gel within 12 hours prior to coitus and insert a second dose as soon as possible within 12 hours after coitus They will be advised to use only two doses of gel in a 24-hour period

Study Duration Approximately 30 months in total Accrual will require approximately 14 months and follow-up will continue until 92 incident HIV infections are observed in the study which is expected to occur approximately 16 months after the end of the accrual period

Primary Objective

To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a candidate vaginal microbicide tenofovir gel when applied intravaginally by women in preventing sexually transmitted HIV infection

Secondary Objectives

To assess the impact if any of tenofovir gel on the incidence rate of deep epithelial disruption
To assess the impact if any of tenofovir gel on viral load in women who become infected with HIV during the trial
To assess tenofovir resistance in HIV seroconvertors in the trial
To ascertain the impact if any of tenofovir gel on pregnancy rates and outcomes
To assess the impact if any of product hold at study exit on HIV infection and tenofovir resistance

Ancillary Objective

To assess the impact if any of tenofovir gel in preventing sexually transmitted infections including herpes simplex virus type 2 HSV-2 and human papillomavirus HPV infections
