“We know that uptake of PrEP among men who have sex with men (MSM) has been limited, partly due to misinformation in the community about its safety and effectiveness."

And the Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBT org in the country, just endorsed Truvada. BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!!!!
If they aren't marketing their drug, they're doing it completely wrong. As a for-profit organization, and one that is publicly traded at that, they have a responsibility to their shareholders to turn a profit. If they aren't actively marketing their products to increase sales, they're doing their shareholders an active disservice.Quote:

These are simple calculations comparing the expected performance of truvada alone and truvada with condoms over various periods of time.->

These calculations use ordinary elementary probability theory treating each year of use as an independent experiment. If this approach is in error please explain exactly why and provide your own calculation so that your readers understand precisely how to interpret and use your notion of 99% effective. In particular how do YOU calculate the probability of infection by year 10? Year 20? Year 30? Etc.->

trish dont bother anymore, he hates condoms and doesnt want to be stigmatized about his status
We are going to know if 5 years the effectiveness of the drug. I fear this will lead to higher risk sexual activities with higher transmissions, because many people are under the assumption this drug will end HIV transmission if everyone is on it. It happens more than people know the selling of drugs that do not perform as prescribed. I would recommend caution, but I guess to some people my words are like grabbing after the wind, completely useless. Be safe folks.
people are already under the impression that ARVs are multivitamins
This thread is still going on? U guys it doesnt matter what u say to him, he doesnt care to hear or listen.
Condoms do work, I was in a relationship with HIV+ person for 3 years and we had lots of sex just with condoms. If theory goes to what he is claiming condoms dont work, I would be positive as well. So, I rather have a rubber than some pill to keep my life healthy.
I'd love to know what you know about me.....last time I checked (quite recently) I was negative. Are you saying I'm POZ? If so, please directly say so.Quote:

I know you think that you're a "Fit, smart, bottom guy who knows what I want," and that you're "Looking for an awesome tgirl to hang with and go from there." Good luck with that. I hope she uses condoms.Quote:
