TL;DR
It was unable to demonstrate that nonoxynol 9 sponge use was effective in reducing the risk of HIV infection among highly exposed women.
Abstract
Genital ulcers and vulvitis occurred with increased frequency in nonoxynol 9 sponge users. We were unable to demonstrate that nonoxynol 9 sponge use was effective in reducing the risk of HIV infection among highly exposed women.

The overall size of the procedure is shown to be controlled with virtually the same accuracy as the single sample chi-square test based on N(m1 + m2) observations and the power is found to bevirtually the same.

Data indicate an extremely high rate of female to male transmission of HIV-1 in the presence of STD and confirm a causal relation between lack of male circumcision, genital ulcer disease, and susceptibility to HIV- 1 infection.

Stepwise logistic regression analysis confirmed independent associations between HIV-1 infection and oral contraceptive use, condom use, genital ulcers, and C. trachomatis, and the presence of other sexually transmitted diseases may in part explain the heterosexual HIV- 1 epidemic in Africa.

It is suggested that genital ulcerative diseases are an important risk factor for the acquisition of HIV infection in homosexual men; measures directed at control of these diseases may reduce the transmission of HIV in this population.

Greater emphasis is urged for research on preventive methods women could use, including the possibility of a topical virucide that might block transmission through the vaginal route.

Serologic studies do not support the role of CMV, EBV, or HSV-1 in HIV infection but do suggest that HSv-2 infection is a risk factor for subsequent or concurrent HIV infection.

It is concluded that use of the diaphragm with spermicidal jelly or use of a spericidal foam with a condom markedly alters normal vaginal flora and strongly predisposes users to the development of vaginal colonization and bacteriuria with E coli.

The results suggest that women using the sponge are protected against the two most common sexually transmitted pathogens, which are also those with the most serious health consequences, however, women use the sponge should be advised they may have an increased likelihood of a vaginal infection with Candida.

In the recent past, published information about AIDS in the US and UK promoted use of condoms lubricated with nonoxynol 9, but did not tell users about the possible adverse effects and its potential benefits in HIV prevention cannot yet be determined.

An in vitro analysis of nonoxynol-9 eluates delivered by the Today contraceptive sponge suggests that this agent effectively inactivates high concentrations of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 at titers far below those found in vaginal fluid.

The public health community is faced with closing the gap between use and need and some of the many ways to increase condom use involve policy makers who should eliminate all barriers to import or manufacture of condoms government agencies which should provide condoms free of charge to those who cannot afford them and the communication industry which should eliminate restrictions on condom advertising.

Both morphologic and chemical changes in the vagina are compatible with the inflammatory reaction induced by the detergent tested, resulting in an increase in semiquantitative score for the inflammatory changes in aqueous N-9.
