It seems to me that we are all overly scared of HIV when it is now a treatable condition with one pill a day...much easier than say being a diabetic and having to prick your fingers to test your blood sugar and take insulin injections every day or your life.
Or having bad kidneys and having to hook up to a dialysis machine for several hours every day.
Hell, there are a thousand things that would be worse than having HIV and taking one pill a day to treat it.
But then...today when I googled up "one pill for HIV" I saw that article about Vireaid preventing you from getting it!
I would think that would be national news all over the place!
And I also would have THOUGHT that the FSC with all of it's resources would be investigating this as part of the solution to this problem.
I mean, hell...I found it in two clicks and 5 seconds on Google.
Maybe this post of mine will be passed on to them and they can get the ball rolling and take a closer look into this. Neither I, nor anyone else on GFY is a medical professional so I just don't know.
But I'm gonna definitely ask my doctor about it. For both me and Claudia Marie that would be about 2 grand a month. But if I could get it covered by my insurance...then I'm gonna go for it if my doctor thinks it's a good idea.

Stribild is the same poison they were dishing out before, tenofovir and other meds but mashed into 1 pill.
Truvada, the preventive pill to supposedly avoid HIV, is also tenofovir + one other medication.
So neither is anything new or revolutionary. It's what they've been dishing out to HIV patients before they just figure out how to combine the pills. Same nasty side effects whether you take 2 pills or one
