PrEP is one of the great miracles in the history of medicine and moving it to a twice a year shot will make it so much easier for people to use it's hard to articulate just how amazing it is that we moved HIV from a guaranteed death sentence to something people no longer have to experience at all
These are the drugs that the US must make free to all. In order to do this, I encourage folks to check out Modern Monetary Theory (which actually started in the 70s) to understand how the Govt can pay for anything Congress agrees to. We can have SO much more than we currently do!
TWICE A YEAR FOR 100% PREVENTION? HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT'S CRAZY
honestly surprised some dork didn't try to say "umm actually it's not a miracle it's science" lol
My great uncle got HIV really early into the crisis and while I wasn’t around yet I’ve heard stories about how quickly and irreversibly he declined without any treatment. This was an apocalyptic disease just a single lifetime ago, it might as well have been the black plague to some communities.
It would be better if there was actual anonymity to the process. Data collection in healthcare is quite frankly off the hook. But I agree. Truly a miracle of science.
Fantastic news!
Sounds too good to be true. @sailorrooscout.bsky.social , do you have any imput or insight into this?
And we're getting pretty close to a cure, too
I remember when triple antiviral therapy moved it from a death sentence to a chronic care disease and **that** was a miracle of science. This is health care magic.
I’m old enough to remember Magic Johnson announcing he had HIV and back then, we never heard someone say that until they were already sick—we all assumed he’d be gone in a year. What I’m saying is, yay science.
