A gay man explains why he's on Truvada

Better yet, think of all the medical advances that could be made if they didn't have to waste so many resources on an entirely preventable illness like HIV? It's widely known how to not spread it. use condoms, don't share needles. yet so much time money and effort is spent on it, while cancer, malaria, etc should have those resources.

why limit that to HIV. Think of all the time we could save if we weren't doing heart medications for all those guys who like to eat red meat and fatty foods. The account for far more deaths than HIV does and frankly, they could be prevented if you ate your veggies and got your fat ass to the gym more often.

But, hey, let's take another couple- SUicides and assaults with Firearms... THey kill a lot of people, and think of all the money we waste on trauma centers when we could just ban guns!!!!

I realize the tone of your comment is sarcastic.....

But why not......

If you smoke...you pay more......(maybe we build that into the cost of cigarettes).

If you drink....you pay more....

If you own a gun....you pay more......

If you are actively gay....you pay more.....

If you are overweight.....you pay more......

I don't see an issue with that.

Except of course...it would be abused.

I'd ask what the fuck this drug is made of that it costs $13,000.

This honestly sounds like a rich pharmacuetical company getting rich on human misery...

But you keep hating those gays, Steve.

Do you understand the economics of bringing a drug to market ?

Do you understand that they charge patients more for the same drugs in the US versus cost of the drug in a poor country?

Please provide an example.

Make sure it includes timing.

And also the amount they sell to the U.S. vs. the poor country.

Not doing your homework for you.

If you make a claim and can't back it up...it's only a myth.

For the purposes of this discussion, it's still a myth.
