"Aids? Not a problem, I took my pill." - Randy Dotinga has a great article over at Wired News about a new study being conducted on a pill that purports to keep a person from getting AIDS if taken daily.
Dotinga begins:
Hundreds of healthy people in Africa, Cambodia and two U.S. cities will begin taking doses of a powerful AIDS drug as part of a series of studies into the use of medicine to stop HIV infection before it starts.
If the studies produce promising results, the world may end up with a daily pill to keep AIDS at bay. While researchers have plenty of questions -- Will the drug make people sick? Will it make them careless? Will it cost too much?
I vote for careless and the cost high in both the pocketbook and moral bankruptcy. And it will certainly not stop the many, many other STD's out there.
Stop folks and think. These STD's, they are all the results of bad choices.
