Version; however, this finding was not confirmed by ulcers identified during STI examinations and may have included ulcers of nonherpetic etiologies. In contrast to the 51 reduction in HSV-2 incidence among women randomized to use a 1 tenofovir topical gel in CAPRISA 004, [9] our results suggest that tenofovir in daily oral FTC/TDF may reduce the occurrence of ulcers in individuals with HSV-2 in
