Meds to prevent HIV...

[Luezette]

Today I saw this advertised at a bus stop, sat down to google it because I couldn't believe it and yep, there it was. It's called PrEP (Pre-exposure Prophylaxis). This is what was said from the Center for Disease Control:

"Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is a way for people who do not have HIV but who are at substantial risk of getting it to prevent HIV infection by taking a pill every day...when someone is exposed to HIV through sex or injection drug use, [this] medicine can work to keep the virus from establishing a permanent infection." (I substituted "this" for "these" because I didn't include drug makeup of this medicine. You can read that for yourselves).

www.cdc.gov/hiv/prevention/.../prep/

When I read this, actually as I was reading it, I said to myself "this is going to cause the HIV rate to go up. I mean, how many are actually going to be consciously aware to take it?

Yet, the thing that really got to me about this is this:

okkkk, lol.

Yes the thing that really got to me was the increase in immorality this will bring. What I mean is this will give people even more license to do what they want, with whomever they want, etc. And wow! Right on the heels of legalizing same sex unions.

The timing was planned. "We are not ignorant of [satan's] designs." 2 Cor. 2:11

I agree. People are going to think it's a magic pill that will protect them.

Very interesting article of information sister Luzette! You are right it is all in the timing and it will definitely help to make prmiscuous people not worry about it and the use of drugs on top of it is such a scary combo! This is a scary world for sure!
