Medicine on the verge of drastically reducing and preventing HIV for the second sexual revolution

Federal health officials recommended two weeks ago that hundreds of thousands of Americans at risk for AIDS take a daily pill that has been shown to prevent infection with the virus that causes it.

If broadly followed, the advice could transform AIDS prevention in the United States — from reliance on condoms, which are effective but unpopular with many men, to a regimen that relies on an antiretroviral drug. . . . . .

That "regimen of antiviral drugs" that gay men will be using in lieu of condoms... who's paying for that?

Not that protected class, I'm certain.

Fallen man’s undying search for consequence-free sex marches on ... Might as well be looking for a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

It’s early days yet and these are some pretty big claims we’re hearing. Remember AZT, the first treatment for HIV? It probably killed more patients than the disease.

And then they will, once again, demand that Society spend hundreds of billions of $$ to cure it.

Yea, it’ll be so much easier to get men and women to take a daily pill than to use a condom on occasion or abstain...

The new drugs permit even grander ambitions.

Sheep and goats beware.

Oh gee. I’ve always thought AIDS was a gift from God to allow the queers to be self-annihilating.

And folks will “forget” to take their pill for a while, and those last two or three viruses that were about to die will recover and multiply, creating even more virulent diseases, just like with bacteria.

You really think God would send an affliction that kills righteous and wicked alike? Or do you think hemophillia is a moral failing?

“Remember AZT, the first treatment for HIV? It probably killed more patients than the disease.”

As far as I’m concerned they’re sparring with God and too damned stupid to know it; they lose.
