Abstract

AIDS: A 24-week San Francisco study will compare testosterone replacement via injection or patch versus placebo. Participants will be given 200 mg of testosterone enanthate every two weeks, or the patch (Testoderm) to wear on the scrotum. Study-required treatments and tests are free, except for an initial test of testosterone level. Men must be seventeen years old or older. Additional comments highlight a new patch that can be worn on other parts of the body besides the scrotum, and a new testosterone replacement gel which has yet to be approved in the U.S.
