Abdool Karim and colleagues have been invited at least three times to review or comment on our WebmedCentral article, but they have not yet done so.  We initially submitted our commentary to Science on August 6, 2010. (Science published the report by Abdool Karim and colleagues which is the focus of our commentary.)  Abdool Karim and colleagues wrote an unreferenced response to our commentary and sent it to the editors of Science.  The Science editors then rejected our commentary on November 29, 2010.  We published our commentary on WebmedCentral on December 7, 2010.

Over the last two months, we invited 16 potential reviewers to review our article, but none has reviewed it. Not only did we invite Dr. Abdool Karim to review, we also invited the principal investigators of three planned trials of vaginal tenofovir gel for preventing HIV.
