Didymus 34,380 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Why not take the funding from this, which is not a long term solution at all and use it to reduce the price of contraception or start offering contraception for free to more people? That way the percentage of people infected will go down as well as many other s-xually spread infections and diseases. I agree 100% with you, I think there's currently a problem with the thoughts on contraception and there should be more done to make it even more important. Ultimately, HIV infections ill only deplete if everyone hops on board with adequate protection. This medication could be the answer however it'll only be a long term success if it's available and used by everyone at risk, not just the most common? If they offered it to everyone and it completely halted infections then it's done it's job however only offering it to gay men will still keep it alive and allow it to evolve? I don't think we have a good enough answer yet to stop HIV but at least it seems to be a prominent concern once more! Excellent point! I have thought this for a long time now, but I guess companies make too much profit of them or something and it will never happen.. I think it's an absolute disgrace that some stores even have the audacity to lock them up behind glass. It's almost frightening how condoms are still a taboo, but HIV-infected gay men are the most normal thing in the world by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen 99 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 nnn the side effects being worse than AIDS at times (some d--gs can cause lipodystrophy, heart problems etc.), why shouldn't straights take it too, could cause highly resistant viral strains to develop if the meds aren't taken properly, still not 100% effective. what a mess. no. condoms.
