Yeah, I get that. But even antiretrovirals are not available to a lot of people. In Europe they must be approved and some of them are not. The same is true in the USA. Then, in the USA, you have to be able to afford them because your insurance will help you pay for them or you have lots of money. In Europe, where socialdemocracy is still in place, the public health system may or may not decide it’s a thing you can have access to. If it decides you can’t have access to it, you have to pay. So, um, you know, your point is a good one, but it’s a moot point. I also did not directly refer to prophylactic drugs in my comment. You just assumed I was talking about them. Read my comment again and think about what I’ve said here about access to medicines that prevent the spread of the disease. You unwittingly made a ton of assumptions about my comment.
I was reading that we might eliminate transmission globally by 2030.
It’s not just the prep (profilactic) meds, if people with HIV are well managed with antiretrovirals they can’t transmit the infection.

It’s a complex subject being overly simplified. So you may have expected that… 🤨
Well, one of us is making a lot of assumptions.
