First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study involved 18 men and women who used three different rectal products (a gel, a cream, and a liquid) during anal sex and then rated their experience. The goal was to develop a questionnaire that captures how these products feel—like wetness, messiness, and pleasure—to help design better HIV prevention options. The study did not test whether the products prevent HIV, only how people perceive them.
