Wow! AIDS was a death sentence when I was young, no chance of survival.
It still is bad. This is a prevention vaccine not a cure vaccine.
i read the article and they also mentioned that they already got it approved for patients already infected with HIV back in 2022. idk about its effectiveness though
They said 99%. Do if you have sex with 100 randos you can still get infected.
actually if you have sex with 100 randos, with this medicine, the chance of getting infected is only about 63%, or
1 - exp(100*-0.01)... even less if you also use a condom.
The numbers are more complicated then that. PIV sex you are less likely to transfer HIV then anal. Which is why gay men are effected by the disease more.
I've had sex with 50 randos, no AIDS. Just not my time?
It depends on what percentage of the population has HIV or aids in your community. It usually isn't that high, depending on where you are. Even if some of them had HIV / aids and you were completely unprotected, the risk of getting the disease isn't 100%.
