The way I look at it, less than 40 years ago, it was a death sentence. Now it’s a “you can live damn near a normal life and life expectancy”. That is incredible.
Maybe I’m wrong here, but from TV (not the best I know) I thought the pills were so effective you didn’t even need to disclose your status to a sexual partner?
Not that hiding your status is great either, but from a legal standpoint that’s substantial.
If you’re HIV Positive, you wouldn’t be taking PrEP anyway, and would need to disclose your status. If you’re taking PrEP, it’s preventative therapy, so you would not have to disclose that you’re taking it.
I’m still impressed by the pills that stop infection. From epidemic to this all within a lifetime.
Fuck yeah science!
They help prevent infection but they’re definitely not 100%

That’s still amazing if you ask me.
Agreed! I just wanted to clarify that it isn’t 100%.

Ah, I got that mixed up then. Thanks!
No worries. I deal with this kind of thing all day at work.
