The danger of prophylactic and screening guidelines is they get built into electronic medical records systems. These systems can be used to monitor and control physicians to enforce an artificial and harmful "standard of care." If a computer's dark AI algorithm looks at the computerized medical records and suddenly says "Patient is at-risk for HIV" and "PrEP should be recommended" and the doctor does not advise the patient to use PrEP (perhaps because s/he's been reading Rebecca's columns), or to take an HIV test, the doctor can be disciplined. Similarly, if the doctor practices informed consent and receives a decline from the patient by telling the Patient PrEP might be harmful or unnecessary but the computer says otherwise, the doctor can be disciplined. The result is a sort of thoughtless robo-care.
What's interesting to me is that people ages about 18 to 30 are generally considered to be at highest risk of getting an STI. And yet we've never seen this explosion of HIV in the general population, not in 40 years since this all started. So why the push to start young people entering into the sexual phase of their life onto this drug, except for the old profit motive? It's weird.
I've been interested recently in another iatrogenic mess, the damage caused by benzodiazepines. There's something similar going on, a medical system in denial of the damage a class of drugs is doing, and doctors prescribing drugs that are seriously damaging people. Holy cow, the interviews I've listened to of people who lost a husband or wife to these drugs and the sheer hell they went through.
Prep is one chapter of a larger story going on. The covid shots are another. I've been reading about women's reproductive health being damaged by them in crazy ways and the CDC just continues to push them. And now this, pushing Prep on teenagers.
Isn’t it interesting that medication theorized to prevent transmission of hiv in a group/community virtually untouched by that theoretical phantom is a priority but access to birth control in that same group that is plagued by unintended pregnancies is unacceptable and unimaginable?
Is there an AIDS epidemic among teens? Are there unintended pregnancies among teens?
This is happening quickly because sexual orientation and gender identity are Big Pharma profit machines. Puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, psychotropics, hair loss meds, surgical slice and dice, HIV meds, the list goes on ...are all wrapped into the cult of 'diversity and inclusion.' 'Assigned male at birth' is an indoctrination tool because some youth these days are 'born in the wrong body' or have a 'girls brain in a boys body' and vice versa. Doctors are allies for the cause. It is where they collect their paychecks, as allies to a system of massive harm. The toll this will take on humanity is hard to imagine.

I can only imagine that integrating AI into medicine - which is already under serious consideration as far as I can tell - is going to be a disaster.
