Well here it is

Dr. Jay Levy who co-discovered the HIV virus and is still one of the top HIV researchers in the world is against PrEP - taking HIV medication as precaution - and also does not believe those who test HIV+ but are otherwise healthy should take HIV drugs immediately due to drug toxicity. HIV drugs are basically chemotherapy in a pill

Quote:
?It?s just too risky,? said Dr. Jay Levy, the U.C.S.F. virologist who was among the first to identify the cause of AIDS. The new drugs may be less toxic, Dr. Levy said, but no one knows the effects of taking them for decades.
He's quoted in this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/04/us/04sftreatment.html
