So I was at Starbucks last week waiting for my mum to pick me and her coffee up. I was getting a bit bored so I picked up this week's copy of "Dallas Voice" and began to flip through where I saw an article intitled; "Giving Up on Gay Men". It was about a profraltic treatment for AIDS. It decreased the rate of infection of AIDS by 44%. It which is a huge step forward for science but, it is not enough. Also this drug has some pretty intense side effects such as nausea and Kidney damage in almost 100% of the time. This supposed miracle drug costs $12,000 a year and doctors are nervous about prescribing it. Bottom line great first step but we as a society need so much more.

Not to sound harsh, and I DO NOT WANT THIS, but there has been talk of makeing it criminal to pass HIV to anouther person If you KNOW that you have the desease. It would work though.

I completley agree with you this drug isn't a realistic prevention method yet. But, it is an amazing scientific advancement that with more work will become a viable prevention method.
