Global Campaign for Microbicides
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Global Campaign for Microbicides (GCM) is a non-profit organization which promotes the development and use of microbicides to improve health. The campaign is housed at PATH in Seattle.
History[edit]
The Global Campaign for Microbicides was founded in 1998 at the XII International AIDS Conference.[1][2] The GCM has awarded several grants, and reviewers include decorated reproductive endocrinologists such as Dr. John Jain.[citation needed]
Projects[edit]
When the microbicide nonoxynol-9 was found to be associated with increased risk of contracting HIV, the GCM led an effort to raise awareness that it should not longer be used.[3]
