The Human Immunodeficiency Virus posses a significant threat to the world's population. Current strategies utilized to treat infectious agents have not been adequate to eradicate such deadly viral infections. HIV seeks out its host, a T-Helper cell, by having utilizing glycoprotein 120 probes to engage CD4 cell-surface receptors located on the surface of a T-Helper cell. Development of protective barrier techniques for women to utilize during sex that incorporate filter mediums that offer HIV virions' probes the opportunity to engage the cell-surface receptors they are seeking offers a means of neutralizing the infectious threat of HIV. Providing barriers with filter mediums comprised of sheets, strips, or spheres of lipid bilayer or virus-like structures or hypoallergenic surfaces to carry cell-surface receptors, each type of medium having affixed cell-surface receptors intended to engage HIV virions provides an effective strategy to prevent AIDS in women.
