Study: Drugs can prevent HIV sexual transmission

NEW YORK, United States, Friday May 13, 2011 – The results of an international study involving people from Latin America among other countries, show that if an HIV-positive person immediately follows an appropriate treatment of anti-retroviral drugs, the risk of transmitting the virus to an uninfected sexual partner is nearly entirely eliminated.

The trial, conducted by the HIV Prevention Trials Network, tracked more than 1,700 couples across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the United States and found that the risk of infection fell by 96 per cent.

The reduction in risk was so large that the trial was stopped some three to four years ahead of schedule.

    What evidence do you have to prove HIV is a lab made virus :?:

    If it is it can still be avoided by avoiding the behavior that spreads it.

    I believe in the future they will find a cure for HIV Aids, because even right now some people are getting cure withought a medicice, just by believing in God, and having faith. For those who believe in God, aids its a peace of cake.

      This is nonsense.

      How can you expect God to intervene and perform a miracle if you violate His laws :?:

      Just stop fornicating and buggering. If you honor the moral laws of God you will not have to worry about AIDS. Otherwise you are leaving yourself open to disaster for which there is no guarantee of protection.

      A cure may be found for AIDS. I hope this is the case. But the best and most certain way to avoid AIDS and any other STD is to live by the instructions God has given us in the Bible in such scriptures as…

      Romans 1:26,27, 1 Corinthians 6:9,10, Galatians 5:19-21, 1 Timothy 1:9,10

      Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill.

    i wonder who was dumb enough to sex a person with hiv to find out if that is actually true

    • The truth

      Don’t you know that some people have partners who are HIV positive or have aids itself but the other partner never get the disease? Some people are actually naturally immuned. Plus, others have partners who have HIV and they stay with them

      It is foolish to take a chance with somebody as foolish as yourself who would take a chance.

      People who refuse to live the moral code of the New Testament (which is abstinence before marriage and chastity within marriage) are showing a lack of wisdom and foolishness is the best word for this.

      Those who are faithful in a monogamous Biblical marriage with a partner who is like minded need have no fear of HIV. This should be taught to children at the appropriate age by their parents at home, then by teachers, nurses, guidance counselors, and social workers in the schools, and preached in the churches.

      Federal governments could do much more to see that schools accept their share of the responsibility. This
      involves the education of our youth and the health of the nation. Why would it not be included in the portfolio of the minister of education and the minister of health :?:

      A person who would live such a lifestyle would be *dumb* enough. That is why we have this epidemic.
