First person to contract HIV while on HIV prevention drug

A man taking the HIV-prevention pill Truvada has contracted HIV, marking the first reported infection of someone regularly taking the drug, according to researchers. The report, from the Maple Leaf Medical Clinic in Toronto, says that a 43-year-old man who had sex with other men was infected after taking Truvada for 24 months. The HIV health site Poz reports that he's believed to have encountered a rare strain of the virus that's resistant to the two medicines that make up Truvada. The virus is believed to have been drug-resistant when it was contracted, rather than evolving resistance after transmission.
Truvada is supposed to reduce HIV transmission rates by more than 90 percent; Poz cites current research as putting it above 99 percent when taken four times a week. So news of its failure is a surprise. It doesn't mean the drug is ineffective, however. “I certainly don't think that this is a situation which calls for panic," says Richard Harrigan, an HIV researcher who worked on the study,

I think you are still supposed to use condoms while on the drug. Not even the birth control pill is 100% effective.

Big dicks in your arse is bad for your health.

That's like shooting yourself in the face because you have a knights helmet on. Why risk the chance of one going through the eye hole?

All gay jokes aside, this stuff(gays just call it PrEP) really works. The problem is price, taking it every day, and the fact that dudes get really careless on it and contract EVERYTHING but HIV now. Double Edged Sword.
