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,...

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — Twice-yearly shots used to treat AIDS were 100% effective in preventing new infections in women, according to study results published Wednesday.

There were no infections in the young women and girls that got the shots in a study of about 5,000 in South Africa and Uganda, researchers reported. In a group given daily prevention pills, roughly 2% ended up catching HIV from infected sex partners.

“To see this level of protection is stunning,” said Salim Abdool Karim of the injections. He is director of an AIDS research center in Durban, South Africa, who was not part...

Vice President Kamala Harris was born in 1964 in Oakland, California. The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says that people born in the United States are citizens. Only natural-born citizens are eligible to be president, Article II of the Constitution says. Harris, born in the U.S., meets that standard, legal experts said.

Fact Check: Kamala Harris “is not eligible to hold the office of president” because her parents were non-citizens.

The past week has seen an outpouring of hate from the far right over the wife of Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance. The unremarkable fact that Vance is married to Usha Vance, a woman of Indian heritage, has become a fixation for white nationalists online. Following Monday’s announcement of Vance as Trump’s running mate, white nationalist “groyper” Nick Fuentes seemed to enter a meltdown on his broadcast, saying, “What kind of man marries somebody that isn’t a Christian? What kind of man marries somebody named Usha? Clearly, he doesn’t value his racial identity, his heritage. Clearly, he doesn’t value...

The ever-expanding glossary of dating terms we never needed in the first place has a new entry. It’s called “pebbling.” It seems that “pebbling” is the sharing “of memes, videos, or links to someone to show you’re thinking of them.” Apparently, it’s been likened to “how penguins bring pebbles back to their little penguin loved ones.” While little gestures do mean something, is it really necessary to bring penguins into it? Just send a text and say, “I’m thinking of you.” It means the same thing, doesn’t it?
