FDA Approves Triple Combination HIV Drug

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved a pill to treat HIV infection that combines three widely used antiretroviral drugs into one pill.
The drug will be sold under the brand-name Atripla in the U.S. by Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY) and Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD). Merck & Co. (MRK) will be involved in marketing the drug in countries outside the U.S.

See, that's all very well. Obviously no one wants to get AIDS, but some things are too hard to control, just through 'prevention', on a macroscopic scale. That is, at an individual level, it is right to advocate restraint and prevention, but when dealing with whole populations, it is not feasable.

PS- Sorry for diggin up olds ghosts :p
