Daily pill to prevent HIV may be offered to thousands of men on the NHS after trials showed it could cut risk of infection by 60%
A once-a-day drug to prevent infection with HIV could be offered to thousands of men on the NHS. The pill, called Truvada, is pre-exposure prophylaxis medication. (PrEP) This prevents new infections by killing the virus before it has a chance to take hold in the body.
Giving PrEP alongside regular HIV testing and early treatment to just a quarter of men at high risk of contracting the virus could prevent more than 40 per cent of new infections, experts say.

They are now calling for the 'game-changing' drug to be made available on the NHS NHS England has confirmed it is carrying out trials of the drug with a decision expected on it by summer.
Research published in The Lancet HIV suggests that if all gay men were offered the drug, infection rates would drop by 59 per cent, preventing 10,000 cases by 2020. However, it also claims that if the drug was only given to the most 'at risk', it would stop thousands of new infections every year.

  11. It is no longer news that the Acquired immune deficiency syndrome /Human Immune Virus (HIV/AIDS) is increasing by the day. The fear is that many people living with the sickness are scared of saying it because of the stigma that comes along with it.I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could lead a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to HIV). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention which i got from a herbal man Dr. Magana, this man is a native doctor who cure different kind of sickness you can receive a package from him anywhere you are in the world please contact him on this email: maganasolutioncentre@gmail.com, contact if you have similar problems

    get my HIV-AIDS cured with his healing spell, i have tried almost
    everything but i couldn t find any solution on my disease, despite all

    which he said i will be healed, all the strength that has left me before
    rush back and i becomes very strong and healthy, this disease almost
    kills my life all because of me, so i went to hospital to give the final
