Abstract

This invention relates to methods and compositions for inhibiting the transmission of enveloped viruses, which entails applying a composition containing a high molecular weight hydrophobically-modified polymer to an infectable or ingestible surface that may contain viruses and wherein said anti-viral composition comprises less than about 9% by weight of surfactant having an HLB greater than about 12.
