2009-03-05 01:08:41 - Based on new university research, a non-prescription gel or cream containing the safe and natural chemical GML could be on the market immediately, saving lives from dealy HIV/AIDS.

At last, scientists have found the silver bullet to stop the spread of AIDS. A simple gel or cream application of GML (glycerol monolaurate), a common chemical that exists naturally in humans and is safely used in ice cream and cosmetics, has protected monkeys from the HIV virus. Researchers expect the same protection will be available to humans.

The GML gel or cream would be applied in the woman's vagina, creating a protective barrier against the virus during sexual intercourse. A dose of GML, based on the new research, will cost less than a penny.

It is expected that the domains (web addresses) www.gmlgel.com and www.gmlcream.com, currently owned by WebTalkerPR, will be acquired by savvy marketers eager to get commercial products

into the hands of consumers. So long as no medical claims are made, GML products should be immediately available for sale.

Technically, the GML product would be a microbicide, or germ-killer. In the absence of an AIDS vaccine, microbicides are the best defense against this disease, which has killed more than 25 million people. Worldwide, 16,000 people contract HIV every day -- the majority getting infected through unprotected sex. Thirty-three million people are living with HIV today.

The exciting new GML data came from researchers at the University of Minnesota. Their report, published in the journal Nature, says that GML breaks a 'vicious cycle' of immune-system signaling and inflammatory response in the cervix and vagina. 'This result represents a highly encouraging new lead in the search for an effective microbicide - that meets the criteria of safety, affordability and efficacy,' they write.

Dr. Ashley Haase, who led the study with Patrick Schlievert, said that if GML works as well in humans as it has in monkeys, "It could contribute to saving millions of lives."

Schlievert said there's evidence that GML also may help prevent other sexually-transmitted diseases, such as chlamydia, as well as other types of infections. In theory, women could use the GML gel or cream an hour or so before sex to protect themselves from infection. A GML product for men is also likely to be developed.
