Pharma manufacturer Gilead making available at cost (2 million doses in most needed countries) while generics are developed and can later be distributed. Decent play from a Pharma company.

          The numbers are more complicated then that. PIV sex you are less likely to transfer HIV then anal. Which is why gay men are effected by the disease more.

          It depends on what percentage of the population has HIV or aids in your community. It usually isn’t that high, depending on where you are. Even if some of them had HIV / aids and you were completely unprotected, the risk of getting the disease isn’t 100%.
