History

The Global Campaign for Microbicides was founded in 1998 at the XII International AIDS Conference. The GCM has awarded several grants, and reviewers include decorated reproductive endocrinologists such as Dr. John Jain.

Projects

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.
