U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisers suggested to buy Truvada as a way to prevent HIV infection among healthy individuals with increased threat of getting the AIDS-causing virus.聽
"I don't see it as a panacea, but it's an option, and that's important," said Dr. Kenneth Mayer, an AIDS specialist and medical research director of The Fenway Institute at Fenway Health in Boston. "Some people won't use a condom, but will say, 'if you give me another option Wholesale Cam Newton Jersey , I'll use that.'"聽
Mayer explained, "Someone who is not yet infected but is exposed to HIV, the drug may prevent the virus from reproducing even if it has already invaded cells. As a result, the virus cannot start turning the newly exposed person's body into a 'factory' to produce more HIV particles."聽
"Why would you take this medication if you intended to use condoms?" asked the group's president, Michael Weinstein, in an interview with聽Bloomberg News. He used a sartorial metaphor to elaborate how unlikely that might be: "You've got to be really paranoid about your pants falling down to wear a belt and suspenders."聽
David Paltiel, a professor at Yale University School of Medicine Wholesale Christian McCaffrey Jersey , said his research has shown that the use of preventive drug treatments should reduce the risk of infection overall. Still, he said, "it聮s unknown if people (would) take more chances because they feel protected by a 'chemical condom." Nevertheless, prevention is better than cure with generic Truvada.聽
"Potential markets for Truvada as a preventive drug include gay men who have sex with more than one man and any committed couple in which one person is HIV-positive, including some heterosexual couples who want to have children," Mayer said.聽
Mayer added, "Allowing the marketing will probably lead to an increase in its usage for prevention. But Wholesale Jordan Scarlett Jersey , this is not a one-time, end-of-the-problem approach like a shot of penicillin to treat an infection like syphilis. Also, it involves someone perceiving that he or she is at risk, or a provider being comfortable enough to ask about a person's risk. We know that a lot of health providers don't like to talk to their patients about sex."聽
Paltiel said, "My research came to the same conclusion: That widespread use of the drug in high-risk people would be "as cost-effective as other widely accepted public health and medical interventions." As such, Canadian pharmacy will support approved drugs for the well-being of the public.聽
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a member of the retrovirus family) that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive. Infection with HIV occurs by the transfer of blood Wholesale Christian Miller Jersey , semen, vaginal fluid, pre-ejaculate, or breast milk. Within these bodily fluids, HIV is present as both free virus particles and virus within infected immune cells. The four major routes of transmission are unsafe sex, contaminated needles, breast milk Wholesale Will Grier Jersey , and transmission from an infected mother to her baby at birth (perinatal transmission). Screening of blood products for HIV has largely eliminated transmission through blood transfusions or infected blood products in the developed world.
In my organisational career, I had budgets from the age of 22 to 47. I lived and breathed them and many times, budgets, the gospel that they were, caused havoc, albeit within the corporate retailer framework that I worked.
Here are two examples of the damage caused.
Example One
Typically budgets were initially discussed in January, just after the Christmas rush. They were always dependent on year-on-year sales growth and at the time in question Wholesale Greg Little Jersey , individual businesses were not expected to deliver 'profits', as the way the business was structured was not capable of sustaining that level of information.
So the budget got signed off about May (for the fiscal year staring the April a month before!). Monthly sales budgets were built, usually to a corporate model, as were cost budgets, the biggest of all being salary costs. Half year budgets had to be met and so by the time September's costs were in, you were well into planning your Christmas.
One year, after a review of performance of the organisation as a whole at the half year Wholesale Brian Burns Jersey , a decision was made to radically trim salary budgets for the rest of the year. Out of 20 businesses in my geographical region, 8 were told to cut costs dramatically from November onwards. Because of the way that employment legislation works in the UK, you can't just lay people off. So we had to find a better way to cut costs, just before Christmas (and at that time, the only two months the organisation made any profits to speak of were in November and December!)
It was decided to reduce the hours of every member of my staff (some 125 people) by 9.9% (apart, much to my personal disagreement, from the management team Cheap Marquis Haynes Jersey , who would be under 'much greater pressure', so would maintain their hours (and salary)). Although I say it myself, I had a great relationship with my team, and everyone made matters much easier by complying with the 'request' within days (instead of the statutory notice-period, which for some could have been up to 12 weeks). My people were rock solid in how they put themselves forward and I was humbled.
