"We can end HIV":

...as long as we can convince everyone to take it. So, yeah. Good luck with that.

You can convince people of everything, if it depends on you having more sex or not.

No pills. Have sex. Die. No sex.

Yes pills. Have sex. Live. More sex.

You don't need to convince everyone, just enough people.

Were already seeing really good progress with pills and condoms, so an option which doesn't need to be taken on a strict daily schedule will be a huge boon.
