TRUVADA: Why are we ALL not taking this???!!!!

[Prospero]

Your irresponsbility is your advocacy of barebackng while taking this pill whose efficiency is still in question. Plus you have long been on these boards advocating unsafe sex before you discovered this new drug.

What you do is entirely your own concern. However there are those who visit these boards who will take your advice seriously. If only one of them gets infected as a result of your flawed advice then I would call ou criminally culpable.

So just stop your stupid advocacy.

[RobynBlakeTS]

Yup. I'm an irresponsible fool who wants to take a pill every day that keeps me from becomming HIV positive and requires you to get screened every four months.. Yeah....sounds about right....

Once again doesn't stop you from getting all the other STD's out there.

[Westheangelino]

^ Never said it did. Neither do condoms. You kind of sound like abstinence only fools who rail against things like the birth control pill.


Criminally culpable? Are you fucking kidding me? People like YOU are criminally culpable in my opinion. It is your moralizing and shaming that is keeping more doctors, the drug company itself, and AIDS advocacy groups from shouting this wonderful news from the rooftops.

[pimpdog]

People obsessed with going condomless are mentally ill imho.

[Westheangelino]

^ How far do you want to go with that? If there was a proven vaccine out there, would you say the same thing? I absolutely understand the difference between getting a shot and having to take a pill every single day that has minor side effects, but if the efficacy is nearly the same (100% vs. 99%), what is the real difference??

No you didn't but your just ignoring that part and risk to going bareback and solely focusing on HIV. Condoms are not 100% but they do increase the percentage of protection. Oh no im a big believer in the pill and eugenics and selection, means I would not have to be wasting my time defending those not in the know on here from you , if more people used the pill.

Once again you are ignoring facts to fit in your argument, I have given you the list of the side effects from the drugs own website which are anything but minor and to which you had comepete ignorance off despite arguing that you had researched this thoroughly despite never looking on the drugs website.

[Westheangelino]

^ the drugs website is the last place I would look. First of all, drug manufacturers want you to buy their product. So, every psychiatric drug for example is the new cure for all you blues (and clearly that's bullshit). Sometimes it IS a miracle drug, sometimes it's just a band aid. The other side of the coin is that they have to list all potential side effects lest they be liable. Listen to any commercial for any drug on TV from Valtrex to Lipator. The litany of side effects sounds scary for every drug out there. Studies and anecdotal evidence shows that the side effects for this drug are on par with leading high blood pressure meds, e.g.

Yes, it is also part of the cocktail that already positive people take, and has been proven effective at keeping negative people from becoming positive in the first place. So much so that two months ago the CDC officially endorsed it as a prophylactic against HIV, and now insurers are jumping on board as well.

Your point, sir?
