AIDS advocates say a pill proven to protect against the HIV virus could promote unsafe sex by creating a false sense of security.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration will meet Thursday to discuss whether Truvada, a drug already approved to manage HIV, should be approved to prevent the infection in high-risk patients, including men who have sex with other men, and heterosexuals with HIV-positive partners. But advocacy groups argue the drug would encourage risky behavior and undo decades of safe-sex advocacy.

"I think it will be a catastrophe for HIV prevention in this country," said Michael Weinstein, president of the Los Angeles-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation, the largest provider of AIDS and HIV care in the U.S. "Men don't need more excuses to not use condoms."

An estimated 1.2 million Americans have HIV, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nearly half are men who have sex with men.

When taken daily, Truvada has been shown to cut the risk of HIV by up to 44 percent in gay and bisexual men in conjunction with condom use and counseling, and up to 75 percent in heterosexuals with HIV-positive partners.

"Why would a person use a condom if they're taking this serious, heavy duty medication?" said Weinstein. "When used properly, condoms are 95 percent effective at preventing infection. We don't want to reduce condom use."

Weinstein described the pill approach to HIV prevention as "the typical American easy way out" of a public health problem worthy of a bigger effort aimed at changing the culture of sex.

"We've done a really poor job in this country of promoting safer sex," he said, describing the "failure" of sex education in schools. "It's not that safe sex has failed, it's that it's barely been tried in this country."

Pokeweed does this and more. Free! Even with the side effects it's better that taking drugs.

Pokeweed
Other common name(s): common pokeweed, poke root, poke salad (or poke sallet), poke berry, poke, Virginia poke, inkberry, cancer root, American nightshade, pigeon berry

Scientific/medical name(s): Phytolacca americana

Description
Pokeweed is a perennial herb that is native to eastern North America and cultivated throughout the world. It can grow to a height of more than ten feet during the summer and dies back to the root each winter. The berries and dried roots are used in herbal remedies.

Overview
Some research has shown that a protein contained in pokeweed, called pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP), has anti-tumor effects in mice and laboratory studies. In test tube studies, PAP has also shown action against viruses such as herpes and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Clinical trials have not yet determined whether these effects apply to humans. All parts of the mature pokeweed plant contain chemically active substances such as phytolaccine, formic acid, tannin, and resin acid. All parts of the plant are at least mildly poisonous when eaten, although the root is most toxic.

How is it promoted for use?
Proponents claim that pokeweed can be taken internally to treat a number of conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, tonsillitis, mumps, swollen glands, chronic excess mucus, bronchitis, mastitis, and constipation. They also say that the herb is an effective treatment for fungal infections, joint inflammation, hemorrhoids, breast abscesses, ulcers, and bad breath. Herbalists also claim that external application of a preparation made from the plant relieves itching, inflammation, and skin diseases.

Even mainstream researchers are beginning to say that one of the key of AIDS problem is oxydative stress.

With a good immune system, one can be in contact with VIH several times in is life, without developping any problem.
