Call on N-9
Call to Discontinue Rectal Use of Nonoxynol-9
Between 2002 - 2005, the Global Campaign spearheaded a drive to educate consumers about the risks posed by rectal exposure to Nonoxynol-9. We created this page as a one-stop source of information on N-9 research, activism, and public health policy. The leadership of this drive has now been taken over by The AIDS Institute. The Global Campaign remains active participants but information about current activities can be found by visiting The AIDS Institute. On this page, you will find:
