What to do after an HIV-positive diagnosis

Researchers may have found a powerful new preventative against the AIDS virus, which has killed more than 40 million people since the epidemic began in 1981. In late June, a trial of lenacapavir, an existing anti-HIV drug used to reduce infection, produced an astonishing result: None of the more than 2,100 young female participants in the test contracted the deadly virus. The results beat those of drugs currently being used for this purpose: Truvada, on which 16 of more than 1,000 women became infected, and Descovy, on which 39 of 2,100 plus contracted HIV, between 1 and 2 percent of those treated.

The results are in, and a recent clinical trial for a preventative HIV drug has come back with shocking effectiveness. According to reports in The Conversation, trials of a new prophylaxis drug can help prevent HIV infections in women better than two other PrEP drugs that are currently on the market.
Further, the researchers involved with the most recent clinical trial discovered that over a six-month period, the medication had a 100% success rate when delivered via injection just twice a year. That’s far more effective than the other two medications previously mentioned.
The preventative HIV drug in question is called Lenacapavir,...

New HIV drug found to be 100% effective in human trial

HIV remains a significant global health issue, affecting millions worldwide. Understanding this virus is crucial for prevention and treatment. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, which attacks the body's immune system, specifically the CD4 cells (T cells). If untreated, it can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). Unlike some other viruses, the human body cannot get rid of HIV completely, so once someone has HIV, they have it for life. However, with proper medical care, HIV can be controlled. Effective treatment with antiretroviral therapy (ART) can make the viral load undetectable, meaning the virus cannot be transmitted to others. This blog post will provide 50 essential facts about HIV, helping to spread awareness and knowledge.

A recent study published in Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology has uncovered a surprising link between adolescent alcohol use and brain structure. Researchers found that larger hippocampal volumes are associated with alcohol use during adolescence, while no such relationship was found for tobacco or cannabis use. This study adds new dimensions to our understanding of how different patterns of substance use affect the adolescent brain.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
