What is PrEP?

PrEP means Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, and it’s the use of anti-HIV medication that keeps HIV negative people from becoming infected. PrEP is approved by the FDA and has been shown to be safe and effective. A single pill taken once daily, it is highly effective against HIV when taken every day. The medication interferes with HIV’s ability to copy itself in your body after you’ve been exposed. This prevents it from establishing an infection and making you sick.

God has better things to worry about than to send retro-viruses to attack so-called fornicators.

Is this "Prophylaxis treatment" available in Nigeria and other African countries?

Once an HIV positive person takes his/her drug constantly for 4 months, the virus will be hard to detect in the blood

Yes for sure.
A tab of Nevirapine taken daily for 30days will do the magic. Visit any HIV Clinic or teaching hospital, u will get more knowledge

So Nevirapine treats people already infected with HIV.

PREP, on the other hand, PREVENTS non-infected people from getting infected with HIV.

Is anyone working on herbal medicine for HIV?

kenonze:
With PEP, an HIV-negative person who may have been exposed to HIV takes anti-HIV drugs prescribed by a doctor to prevent infection. These are the same drugs that people living with HIV take. PEP involves taking two or three of these drugs for a period of one month. To effectively reduce a person’s risk of becoming HIV-positive, PEP must be taken within 72 hours of possible exposure to HIV but ideally as early as possible.

Are u a medical doctor?

Yes of course.
But the issue is political will to back it up.
Just for instance, GEJ govt started a programme like that, do u think PMB govt will want to continue?

Very true. I wonder when Nigeria will wake up from deep sleep.

You've got some psychic powers or what? Yes I can be naughty and dirty on NL sometimes but that's got nothing to do with my true-self. Should I think of a lady as a wwhore, just because she talks nasty on NL?

But once the person stops,the virus resurfaces,and I heard there are loads of side effects to taking the drugs,its a toxic drug,yes every drugs have side effects, but this type is life threating.
Or what do u make of a drug that might damage the liver or kidney in 20yrs.its a gradual toxic drug
