First, on the article itself. That title is just misleading clickbait. In the same article we go from: > The first 100% effective HIV prevention drug is approved and going global to a couple paragaphs in: > sold under the brand name Yeztugo – a class of drugs known as capsid inhibitors, which provide almost 100% protection against HIV infection To a little bit later: > The pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) provides HIV-negative individuals around 99% protection from contracting the devastating virus through sex. So... that is terrible writing about a topic like this. From what I have seen there is no difference in effectiveness of this drug compared to the pills we already have if you actually take them properly. I would love to be proven wrong, but this seems basically the same efficacy numbers we see for truvada and descovy. That doesnt mean it is not still valuable, properly taking the pill every day is a huge component of that. I know I plan on looking at the shot personally. But the reporting on this article is extremely shady.
