I actually enjoyed wading through this post, Rebecca, having worked (as admin asst) for a bunch of epidemiologists (including Nancy Padian!) 35 years ago. Nothing burger indeed!
BTW, today I found an advice columnist being used for subtly pushing PrEP on the elderly. (I'm old-fashioned, still subscribe to a real newspaper and read Dear Abby daily.) Excerpts from the letter:
"Dear Abby, I'm a gay man who came out late in life.I have three grown, married children and five grandchildren....I've been seeing another person and our connection is very strong. I think I'm falling in love, and I envision a future with him. He is HIV-positive. I am on PrEP, or preexposure prophylaxis, the most effective medication to prevent contracting HIV. We have not been intimate, but I'm aware of all the literature about the extremely low risk...... I wonder if I should tell my kids about my boyfriend bing positive...." (Abby says basically, "no need to tell your kids, unless they plan to have sex with him" LOL) I betcha dollars to donuts that letter was written by Gilead's marketing dept.
You mentioned Padan study which it's intentions was to check the effectiveness of condoms, am i correct? If yes the narrative that many anti virus have pushed is totally wrong, because most times they will just state Padan study showws HIV is not sexually transmitted over 10 period, beside the fact this one was mainly focused on gays and transgender the seroconvertion proves HIV as a sexual transmitted virus
Not particularly good at understanding figures and analyses (think Rebecca studied and majored in math?). However, considering the track record of what I’ve seen and heard over the years from drug pushers, I’m not surprised that yet another nothing burger has materialized on another fancy plate.
