Just listened to a podcast from Dan Savage where he was talking to a doctor about carrageenan lube, which has been shown to decrease the risk of contracting hpv and herpes. Just wondering if anyone here knows where in Europe I could buy it online? Or if anyone's used it? What did you think of it?
"HIV A phase 3 clinical trial by the Population Council examined whether a carrageenan-based product known as Carraguard was effective as a topical microbicide for blocking HIV infection in women.[8] The trial ran from 2004 to 2007, with more than 4,000 South African women completing the study, but found no statistical difference in infection between those having used the lubricant and those not having used the lubricant.[13][14] The trial did provide information about usage patterns, however, and showed that the gel is safe at least—not increasing infection any more than the baseline or causing significant side-effects." All the best.
