DAILY PILL PROTECTS AGAINST HIV INFECTION: STUDY

Taking a daily antiretroviral pill greatly lowers the risk of being infected with the AIDS-causing virus HIV, according to a study that included nearly 2,500 gay men in six countries.
The researchers said their finding could mark a major advance in the battle against AIDS, The New York Times reported.
The group of participants assigned to take the antiretroviral drug Truvada daily were 44 percent less likely to become infected with HIV than those who took a placebo.
However, the pill was more than 90 percent effective when the researchers focused only on men whose blood tests showed they took the pill every day, The Times reported.
