    Default HIV Prevention Pill !!!!!

    Good News! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...ef=mostpopular
    The Food and Drug Administration on Monday approved the first drug shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection, the latest milestone in the 30-year battle against the virus that causes AIDS. The agency approved Gilead Sciences' pill Truvada as a preventive measure for healthy people who are at high risk of acquiring HIV through sexual activity, such as those who have HIV-infected partners. The decision comes less than two weeks after the agency approved another landmark product: the first over-the-counter HIV test that Americans can use in the privacy of their homes.(snip)

    This is old news. Costing near $14000 a year isn't exactly cost effective. Also food is cheaper than taking medication since you're eating anyways.

    "The label also warns of side effects, including kidney and liver problems."

    I don't think these side effects are worth the risk.
