Sure, but you also can't transmit HIV just by being in the same room.

- Red_Leaves_Flyy 6y agoI reckon it's harder to get people to always practice safe sex than it is to wear masks.
- sieabahlpark 6y agoUnless you're in California where it's legal to knowingly give someone HIV without telling them.
- evan_ 6y agopeople are having sex a lot less frequently than they are breathing air, though
- jaywalk 6y agoHeh, speak for yourself ;) /joke
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 6y agoFortunately HIV isn't communicable by sharing air. Despite that truvada costs $2000/month[] in the us. And, unless I'm mistaken, it needs to be taken for life, or until a proper cure is found and hopefully that doesn't cost $2,000,000. Truvada costs more than the median us salary. I'd rather risk covid19. Death would come much faster than an agonising death from untreated aids.

- adventured 6y ago> Truvada costs more than the median us salary. While your points about the obscene cost of Truvada are spot on, your point about US incomes is not. For 2019 the median US income was $36,000 [1] (not ~$20,000). The median US full-time income was around $52,000 [2]. The median family income was $86,011 [3] and the median household income was $68,703 [4].
