New antiretroviral injection shows 100% protection rate from HIV

You sound 100% sure of that. -
New antiretroviral injection shows 100% protection rate from HIV

Anyone is welcome to approach me and do most anything that suits them. I find life is, for the most part, delightfully conflict-free that way. -
Ever hopeful for those editions where the photo editor was clearly rushed in checking the men's underwear pages.

Welcome! Look forward to your participation here. And to checking out your new web site. And, if I can ever manage a visit to the Left Coast again, to meeting in person.

So don't listen to her. You have just now let her take up several moments of your, and our, time and attention. To what end? (Not a Belgian-toned criticism, just an observation.)

Aw, the world will always have Oprahs. I deal with them the same way as with online ads -- look past them to where the substance picks up again.

Researchers at Columbia Universitys Mailman School of Public Health have found that an injection of antiretroviral drugs can give 100 percent protection from HIV. Monkeys were injected with the drugs in two separate trials, with protection lasting a month. However, research suggests that such an injection could last for up to three months, reports the New York Times. People taking PrEP in the form of a daily Truvada pill have a super-high rate of protection (98 percent), if they take the pill every day. However, the effectiveness of the treatment goes down if you miss multiple doses. An injection of this kind would erase the fear of missing your daily dose itd just be an injection every few months. The treatment would be of greatest benefit to serodiscordant couples where one person is HIV-positive and the other is HIV-negative. Dr Wafaa El-Sadr, an AIDS expert at Colombia, tells the Times that a preliminary human trial is set to start later this year. A larger trial that could lead to widespread usage is still a number of years away. http://www.queerty.com/new-antiretroviral-injection-shows-100-protection-rate-from-hiv-20140306

Au contraire. I had and have the hots for him in general (well, as he was then) and that shot in particular. Among others. When one was 10 and 11 and 12 there as the '60s turned into the '70s, you took your little quasi-porn puffs where you found them.

True. Likewise telling that Bloomberg who can smell bullshit at ten miles had the highest regard for Menino.

Your taste in shag is correct.

How insects could feed the world
AdamSmith replied to AdamSmith's topic in Health, Nutrition and Fitness
Indeed. The article mentioned that the conference included a talk by a psychologist who is an expert on the psychology of disgust. -
How insects could feed the world Is eating bugs the solution to feeding the world's growing population of human beings and livestock? Emily Anthes chews on locusts, beetles, mealworms and more as she tries to find out ...The attendees are all familiar with the same dire facts. By the year 2050, the planet will be packed with 9 billion people. In low- and middle-income countries, the demand for animal products is rising sharply as economies and incomes grow; in the next few decades, well need to work out how to produce enough protein for billions more mouths. Simply ramping up our current system is not really a solution. The global livestock industry already takes an enormous toll on the environment, gobbling up land and water. Its a potent polluter, because of the animal waste and veterinary medicines that seep into soil and water. And it emits more greenhouse gases than planes, trains and automobiles combined. The insect authorities assembling in Ede believe that entomophagy could be an elegant solution to many of these problems. Insects are full of protein and rich in essential micronutrients, such as iron and zinc. They dont need as much space as livestock, emit less greenhouse gases, and have a sky-high feed conversion rate: a single kilo of feed yields 12 times more edible cricket protein than beef protein. Some species of insects are drought resistant and may require less water than cows, pigs or poultry. Insect meal could also replace some of the expensive ingredients, such as soybeans and fishmeal, that are fed to farm animals, potentially lowering the cost of livestock products and freeing up feed crops for human consumption. As an added bonus, bugs can be fed with food scraps and animal manure, so insect farms could increase the worlds supply of protein while reducing and recycling waste... http://www.theguardian.com/news/2014/oct/30/-sp-how-insects-could-feed-the-world
