We wish to honor her memory by including her as an authorPurpose: We sought to determine the relationship between acceptability of a hypothetical vaginal microbicide, cultural factors, and perceived HIV risk among African-American women in Nashville, TN, USA, and African women in Kafue and Mumbwa, Zambia.Patients and methods: Women in both sites completed a survey. Regression analyses were performed on valid samples (Nashville, 164; Zambia, 101) to determine cultural differences affecting microbicide acceptability. Regression analyses also tested whether individual risk perception affected acceptability.Results: In Zambia, 89.6% of women were willing to use a microbicide versus 81.6% in Nashville (P &lt; 0.0001). One cultural difference is that women in the Zambian cohort viewed risk of HIV infection as distinct from risk of acquiring STIs, with 48% believing they were certain to become infected with AIDS, compared to 4% of Nashville participants.Conclusion: These results suggest a high degree of acceptability toward use of a vaginal microbicide to prevent HIV infection.Keywords: HIV/AIDS, women, birth control, sexually transmitted infectionsMontgomery Rice VMaimbolwa MCNkandu EMFleming Hampton JLee JEHildreth JEKDove Medical PressarticleImmunologic diseases.
