No no, keep their funding but make a Pharmaceutical company around it and only release pills with enough potency to treat instead of cure
"Hey Jimmy, you weren't at work yesterday"
"oh, my AIDS was acting up but I took some Rubitussin, I'm fine now."
"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.
Edit:
Already a thing. Check the syphilis statistics.
Wouldnt I still need to rubber up to avoid genital warts, herpes, Hep, HPV, among others?
Two pills, but also celibacy.
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.
We can :) But, we probably won't :(
But what about the Tylenol?
Probably doesn't prevent HIV.
The Gates Foundation also announced Wednesday that it had entered into a similar partnership with Indian pharmaceutical company Hetero.
That's for bigots to not being ashamed of taking pills against sexually transmited diseases? See, Hetero is in it's very name, so it's fine!
That’s ok, I’m sure it won’t be allowed to sell in the us. Profits will be intact
Yes, the US won't get the Hetero, they'll only get the sparkly $28000 version, called the Homo.
$40.
What, are you crazy?
I don't have that kind of money!
Then you should have sex with as many rich people as possible then die as quickly and quietly as possible, there's a good chap.
Best regards, Your corporate overlords
quickly, sure. quietly, well, when this cannon goes it'll be loaded
