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.

    I wasn’t trying to be rude. It just seemed like you were suggesting the preventative injectable could be worse than AIDS itself, and I was genuinely asking why that would be scarier.

    I’m sorry you’ve had such a rough experience with HIV treatment. That sounds genuinely awful. But just to clarify, the medication being discussed here is preventative, not treatment after infection. It likely has a different side effect profile because its purpose is prevention, not management of the disease.

    If anything, your experience actually makes the case for a reliable preventative even stronger.

    I understand where you’re coming from based on what you’ve been through, but I think we’re talking about two very different situations.
