"The important thing we learned is that covert use, or secret use, is not an important parameter for women, and that in fact we found that 12 percent of the women who used to the gel said it made sex more pleasurable and none of the women said that the gel made sex less pleasurable."
Eighty percent of the women told to use gel within two hours of having sex said they had done so.
"We asked women 'How acceptable is this as a prevention option, is it too messy, is it a nuisance, and will you use it?' Our study showed they will use it and they're not bothered by the gel," Hoesley said.
