Abstract

Integrin-mediated adhesive interactions are viewed in the context of HIV transmission to susceptible cells and fertilization. The ability of a low- molecular-weight non-peptide integrin modulator to inhibit HIV infection (virus-to-cell and cell-to-cell) and sperm-egg fusion is demonstrated. It is concluded that integrin-modulating substances offer significant promise as female-controlled means for preventing sexual transmission of HIV (whatever entity acts as HIV vector in semen and other penile secretions) and as female-controlled contraceptives.
