FDA APPROVES H.I.V. PREVENTION DRUG

Truvada

Truvada will soon be administered to patients as part of prevention plans that include risk reduction counseling, HIV testing every three months, and regular condom use. It won't be cheap, however, as pills will be estimated at $40 a pop come prescription time. Raises our brow, of course. Read more about Truvada here.
