"Using Truvada or pre-exposure prophylaxis, to preventacquiring HIV, for an HIV negative person is a game changer, andit"s something that I believe is really going to take us tothe next level," said Kali Lindsey, who is with the NationalMinority AIDS Council. New drug provides hope Some critics have said Truvada could give people a false sense ofconfidence and lead to a reduced use of condoms. But HIV educatorBrad Miller believes approval of the drug will actually promote adialogue on condom usage. "They"ll know more about their health and what they cando to protect their health, versus being told what to do abouttheir health," said Miller.
Lisa and her husband, Tracy, who is HIV positive, make up one ofthe estimated 140,000 couples in the U.S. with mis-matching HIVstatuses. "This woman cared more about me than what I was infectedwith. Because the average person around here when they hear it,would go running the opposite direction," said Tracy.
Lisa chose not to cut ties, but instead to tie the knot [getmarried], and also to try Truvada. "I want to remain healthy, so that in the times of his need,that I"m there to assist. So when PrEP came along I jumped atthe idea," said Lisa. Optimism among advocates, users PrEP refers to pre-exposure prophylaxis, and Tracy is a strongsupporter.
"PrEP helps, it does. I think that"s one of the mostpositive things they could have come up with, along with theirresearch of how to combat the disease," said Tracy. Currently wait-listed for a trial where she would receive free PrEPdrugs, Lisa worries about the cost - as high as $1,500 per month. "I just hope that they approve the PrEP, so that many othersthat are living in the situation that I"m living in will havethis resource available to them," she said. The U.S.
Food and Drug Administration is not required to follow thepanel's recommendation on Truvada, but FDA officials concluded thehigh-profile session by saying more must be done to prevent moreHIV infections from occurring.
