HIV CURE

HIV CURE.Truvada is a pill that combines two antiretroviral drugs for HIV prevention, The Food and Drug Administration approved Truvada,as a daily pill for those who are at the risk of contracting HIV. Currently there is no HIV cure ,though scientists are on research every day working on a lasting solution for HIV cure.

• CDC recommends at-risk groups take Truvada daily to prevent HIV infection
• Studies show pill can help reduce infection rates by more than 90% when taken daily
• Health experts say they hope this will "alter the course of the U.S. HIV epidemic"

Use condoms to prevent HIV. But if you are at high risk of contracting the virus, health experts want you to consider an additional strategy -- taking a pill every day to reduce your chance of being infected.

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, should be taken daily by people who are at high risk for contracting HIV for their HIV cure..

The recommendation is based on several large national and international studies, which were done in varying at-risk populations, such as gay and bisexual men, heterosexual couples where one person is HIV-positive (the other is not) and injection drug users.

The studies all showed that this drug can help reduce infection rates by more than 90% when taken daily.

"While a vaccine or cure may one day end the HIV epidemic, PrEP is a powerful tool for HIV cure that has the potential to alter the course of the HIV epidemic today. An important step toward fully realizing the promise of PrEP. We should add to this momentum, working to ensure that PrEP is used by the right people, in the right way, in the right circumstances."

those circumstances would be anyone who:

• Made love without a condom;

• is not infected with HIV but had intercourse with an HIV-infected partner;

• is a gay or bisexual man who has had a STDs within the last six months and is not in a mutually exclusive relationship with a recently tested HIV-negative partner;

• is a heterosexual man or woman who does not always use condoms when having intercourse with partners already at risk, and who isn't in a mutually exclusive relationship with a recently tested HIV-negative partner; or

• has injected drugs or shared drug paraphernalia in the past six months

In 2012, the Food and Drug Administration approved Truvada, a pill that combines two antiretroviral drugs for the prevention of HIV. It was first approved in 2004 as an HIV treatment and is still the only FDA-approved medication for PrEP to ensure HIV cure.

To be effective, this pill must be taken every day for your HIV cure.

"(It's) one that benefits not only the individual patient at risk for HIV infection but also will help to reduce the number of new HIV infections across the world," said Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health. "It should be used together with -- and complementary to -- condoms and not as a substitute for condoms."

"Individuals will have to decide with their doctor if PrEP is right for them for their HIV cure, but for some, this may offer a much-needed strategy to help protect themselves from HIV infection."

There are 1.1 million people in the United States living with HIV, according to the CDC. An estimated nearly one in six do not know they're infected.

Men who have intercourse with men are the hardest hit -- while they make up 2% of the U.S. population, they account for 63% of all new infections each year, according to the CDC. Heterosexuals make up 25% of all new annual infections; 9% are injection drug users.

Be warned there is no HIV cure yet ,be wise and protect your future. Use condoms.
