These types of findings are problematic for anti-vaxxers, however they seem likely to overcome this through their wholesale butchery of US research.

- jaggederest 1y agoI think it's going to be very interesting to see what kind of effects long term antiretrovirals for HIV treatment and prevention have. Surely they're not so tightly targeted that they only affect HIV, so it'll be interesting to see which conditions they prevent and which they cause, since we've got tons of people on them for a quarter century now or so. I also wonder this kind of thing about other long term treatments - perhaps Prozac prevents dementia, or causes it.
