Why is it crucial to find a new approach to contraception?

Hormonal contraception has a lot of side effects for women (such as weight gain or acne), a pill is easy to forget, and there is the environmental aspect of water contamination by hormones. Moreover, it has been shown that it’s difficult for women to negotiate the use of condoms with their partners (which is the only method to prevent STD infections and another common method to avoid unwanted pregnancies). Microbicide can allow a new way of contraception: safe and affordable, where women don’t have to negotiate with their partners.
