Trial screening of drug aimed at preventing HIV transmission from infected to healthy partners found substantially effective.
NOTE: Reading the "Who Took Part" section of this outline of the study is mid-boggling. 18 partners in the past three months? 5+ drinks a day (while taking untested medication)? 60% having had unprotected anal sex in the past six months? Forget the STD rates in the participants.
Seriously, step it up, gay men. Condoms are not so uncomfortable, not so hard to find. It upsets me even more than I believe plenty of people would attempt to "ignore" the seriousness of these statistics because the participants are from poorer regions in South American countries.
Anyway, good news, depressing statistics among participants.
