Unusual allergy: Girl reacts to food only after exercise

Encouraging results from real-world users of HIV-prevention pill

(Reuters Health) - A pill meant to prevent HIV infections in high-risk individuals appears to be working, according to two new studies.

In one study, conducted in the San Francisco area, there were no new HIV infections among 657 people who took the daily pill Truvada. In the second study, people in the UK taking Truvada had a lower risk of being diagnosed with HIV.

Truvada, manufactured by Gilead, is approved in the U.S. for "pre-exposure prophylaxis" (PrEP) of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Truvada may reduce the risk of HIV infection by as much as 92 percent, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The pill doesn't protect against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), however.
