   Gilead has announced that lenacapavir, the game-changing HIV prevention drug just approved by the FDA will cost $28,218 USD per person per year.

   Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year.

   Capitalism kills.

     @sun @luckytran Irrelevant, it is unethical to deprive people of health for the sake of money.
     
     Consequently, it is unethical to fund the research through the sale of product, therefore an alternative means of funding should be sought out.

     @sun @luckytran There's quite a few countries already funding their own drug programs differently, and universities'.
     
     Italy's army manufactures drugs for unprofitably rare diseases as well.

     @Leyonhjelm For one, my statement applies for *all* health matters. Not solely AIDS.
     
     For second, there's nothing magical about "sodomites" that make them uniquely infectable by AIDS. So long as one is made of human meat, one is at risk.

     it's almost impossible to catch aids via vaginal-penile sexual intercourse. the reason it happens with anal sex is because generally the recipient will end up with mild tearing which causes bleeding, the blood introduced through the tip of your penis can introduce AIDS. one of the reasons it was originally called GRIDS. if you have a lot of period sex it can happen, sure, but it's not common for consenting adults to end up tearing vaginal walls

     @nerthos @luckytran @Leyonhjelm @sun @lispi314 to add to this uncontroversial thread, i recently learned that the base rates of HIV infection are so different that it's less likely that a straight guy with a positive tests has HIV than a gay guy without any test, and the risk of a gay guy having HIV with a negative test is about the same as a straight guy without any test.

     @lispi314 @luckytran @Leyonhjelm @sun Blood transfusion will always be near 100% since you're getting millions of infected cells straight into your bloodstream, completely bypassing the immune system. That's how they killed Asimov.
     
     The data sources are listed in the image and IMO they're very believable despite being br*tish

     @graf @sun @luckytran @Leyonhjelm @lispi314 I was nodding along reading this exchange earlier, so I was shocked to just hear a piece on the radio about getting more women on PREP that said thirty percent of HIV diagnoses in the UK are heterosexual women.

     Then the interviewer asked if any groups were particularly prevalent: black African, black Caribbean, immigrants, “sex workers” and just generally (oh, the euphemisms) “women who have less agency around whether they have sex”.

     oh yeah its super easy for a woman to get HIV from a pozzed male. i didn't account for that, I just meant in the case both partners dont have HIV or only the female does. it's hard to catch stuff like hepc, hiv from a pozzed female without tearing or period sex

     I heard some African communities actually consider women being wet as a sign of adultery, or something. So they put stuff in their cooters to dry it out.

     @Leyonhjelm @luckytran @sun @lispi314 or you could stop being a dumbfuck: plenty of married couples in which one partner is HIV-positive, and they'd be one of the main users of HIV-prevention drugs like this so the HIV-negative partner can stay negative

     You're right. Female hookers who get raw dogged in the ass are far less likely to contract AIDS than faggots, so there must be a separate means on transmission that is particular to homos.

     Female hookers get fucked by thousands of guys that have had a few partners each. Fags get fucked by thousands of partners that have had thousands of partners each. It's an exponentially (orders of magnitude) higher risk.
