The Los Angeles Times reported today the “first major prevention breakthrough in the AIDS era, researchers have shown that taking a single daily pill containing two HIV drugs can reduce risk of contracting the virus by an average of 44% — and by more than 70% if the subjects take most of their pills.”
“The study involved nearly 2,500 high-risk gay men, but experts belive that the results will be applicable to other populations considered at risk for contracting the virus. Several studies are already underway to determine if that is the case.”
“The findings were reported online Tuesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.”
