Researchers Look to Pill, Taken Daily, to Avert H.I.V.

Researchers Look to Pill, Taken Daily, to Avert H.I.V. - NYTimes.com

People participate in a march during the 17th International AIDS
Conference in Mexico City on Sunday. The sign says, “Universal Action
AIDS Now.” The conference will end on Aug. 8.


Can a pill a day help prevent infection from H.I.V., the virus that causes AIDS?

No one knows. But researchers in a number of countries are conducting
trials and planning others to test the unproven strategy that a daily
pill, or a combination of drugs, can prevent H.I.V.
