5 Things to Know About the First Drug to Prevent HIV

[dps]

Absurd. People were not born to get shots every few years.

were people born to be sick every few years?  Or were they born to take pills every days?

I don't know enough about the duration of the vaccine, I have only Wikipedia as a source.  But it seems that in most cases, it lasts for life.  So, why not?  It contributes to the eradication of the diseases and lower health care costs.  Enough for me.

Yes getting sick is natural.

Historically, most people are born to die before reaching adulthood.  Of course, I don't think anybody is suggesting that's an outcome society should be aiming for.

I do my part by funding abortion clinics.

I'm glad you've listened to your body.

Anyway, about the subject at hand, it seems there are risk at distributing the drugs as prehemptive measure against aids.  Until such time as more studies are completed, I would refrain from giving it to the general population.  Especially at 14 000$ a dose.  It seems not only to create a false sense of security, but also runs the risk of creating a drug resistant HIV wich would throw us back 20 years in the r&d field for the disease.  In other words, it ain't worth the risk for now.  Tests should continue, though.

It costs 11000-14000 a year, not per dose.

ah, ok. 

Anyway, as Garbon said, it's nature's course for people to get sick, so we shouldn't interfere

I love how people have to be all or nothing. I'm so glad that the world I live in is shades of gray, instead.

Pretty sure we don't really need to hear about you and Max's BDSM sessions.

Got asked to participate in an ad study on OraQuick. They currently are positioning it as quick and you can do it from the comfort of your own home.  They show an image of a dog and its labeled the receptionist.

Good luck?

Good luck?

I just thought it was amusing with the timing/pictured seedy crying while watching the ad. Just an online thing so easy enough.

Why should I give a royal rat fuck about a dog with a receptionist sign?

You were so angry about people doing it at home - I thought it was funny they then spoofed a clinic visit.
