No you take it long before
your GP or clinic has to monitor it

at this time in England Only)

I mean on one side it kinda makes sense
It might end up saving the NHS money but less people getting HIV

But then there is already clear ways to prevent getting it so why pay to provide another way

I, as a gay man, personally find this ludicrous, why should the government fund something that's not needed? like people have said, if it was a pill to treat HIV or aids, then yes, go for it, but this is basically the government funding people sleeping with anything that moves without having as big of a worry of catching HIV, there are ways to avoid catching it without tax payers having to fork out for it, just be sensible, I see this as just giving people license to be as dirty as possible and have even less care about who they jump into bed with.

Liam , There is a Massive fight on this
A Court Ruled it in
Not the NHS,
only in England
Not Wales , Scotland or N. Ireland etc.



NHS England wants it back in
Court.

[Gstar]

Surely there's a risk of it being ineffective as nothing works on everyone. I wonder what the side effects are..

[arista]

"not use a condom, "



Yes Ammi these buggers
are in millions

[smudgie]

The court ruling does not mean the drug has got the go ahead. It only means that NHS England CAN fund the drug if they so wish.
If they lose the appeal then they can consider the pros and cons of funding the drug, as they will alongside the funding another 13 drugs for various ailments.

There was a Crazy Bible Scottish Fella
live on LBC before 10AM
Nic informed him that children
are with parents as this show is on
He warned the Scottish Bible Freak
to not use some words,


Sadly the Bible Freak
went on with "Penetration" and worse


Nic then said "RED CARD"
now - he is banned from LBC calling in.



Well done Nic Ferrari

We live in a crazy world.
If you think about it why should it just be for the gay men!, it should be for everyone.

The risk of catching HIV through anal sex is much higher than vaginal sex (where the risk of catching it, even if the other person definitely has it, is actually pretty low) and therefore there is a higher risk for those who engage in anal sex (with partners of unknown sexual history).

Not that straight people can't engage in a bit of bum fun, or even that all homosexuals have anal sex, but obviously it's statistically more likely.

No that would Cost to much money
the gay people that have "Risky" Sex
go to the Clinic or Doctor
and are monitored under this "Prep" system.

In USA it has saved money

[bots]

well, this is rather silly. It will encourage unprotected sex, which in turn will cause an increase in all the other std's that are readily caught, costing the tax payer even more money.

Yes that is why they go to
the clinic or GP once a month
so it costs around £400 per month
in total.

Its been Reported more Older Gays
get infected by more stds, sadly


There is a India Medical Company selling the same tablet
at £40 online. (from LBC Live yesterday)

[lostalex]

if they pay for birth control pills or condoms or the HPV vaccine then they should absolutely have to pay for Prep. it's all the same.
