anti-bacterial gels? Sep 29, 2004 Do those anti-bacterial gels (for hands) that they sell in drugstores really work and kill HCV, HIV, and other viruses or are they not a true substitute for washing hands with soap? I'd hate to use them if they don't work. Thanks! |

 I doubt there has been any laboratory testing of those over the counter gels to answer that question. I would opt for simple handwashing with water and soap. Dr. McGovern | ||||||||
