For the first time, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA) approved a drug treatment(Truvada)that will prevent HIV infection in healthy people.
Truvada works by lowering the amount of virus circulating in people’s blood that applies to the case of HIV infected people.Not curing fully the virus.Past tests on the drug indicate that it can also protect uninfected high-risk
people from acquiring the virus.This reports could be a GIFT and CURSE.

A GIFT because people will now indulge in unprotected sexual behaviour having in mind that truvada got their back.A CURSE because the aftermath of the irresponsible sexual behaviours plus the side effects detailed out on
truvada website.
Allowing truvada to be used
for prevention of HIV will foster a false sense of security
among its  users, which may give the users a false mindset that they are immune to the virus and reduce
their use of condoms and other safe sex practises and you know what that means?A public disaster in the looming and this might escalate cases of STDs.

TRUVADA AS A GIFT:
In healthy, uninfected people, the drug can thwart HIV’s ability to take hold in healthy cells and start an infection, by blocking the activity of an enzyme that the virus needs to
replicate.This serves as a GIFT to healthy uninfected people as long as they stick to the dosage and practise safe sex practices.Its a gift also to doctors in the war against HIV as they can add truvada to their arsenal.
THE FEAR:
The FEAR that i have is that healthy people may not take the drug correctly as per the prescription which would encourage
HIV to become resistant to the medication and also there statistics of condom usage will probably nosedive as more people(teens) are prone to divert to this new euphoria drug. Public
health officials worry that people may engage in irresponsibly sexual behaviors when they are on
the truvada, believing they are protected completely
against HIV, which they are NOT.
There is need for mass education and awareness about the drug and also the public should be made aware of the side effects.

As doctors and researches smile about the gift ,to me it remains a public health disaster in the looming unless strict protectional measures and training are put in place.
