I think you could also think of it like vaccines and herd immunity. No treatment is ever 100% effective, but if you can lower transmission enough (and this will be different for different diseases) you may be able to get rid of it completely.

For the entire first part, I thought about how this guy is so reckless with his health. Then I saw that he’s a drug user, like a super drug user, and I lost some of my sympathy for him.

He seems to think that the benefits to everyone else outweigh the experiences of the slutty slutbags who don’t have a man to provide for them. I know my three widowed, single mother friends should feel ashamed of themselves.

No problem - as soon as we legislate that:

Usually people chosen for these kinds of studies are people that are the highest at risk of getting HIV. So it’s usually sex workers or drug addicts, the people who are already engaging in high risk behavior.

Honestly when I saw the numbers I assumed he was a sex worker? I mean even if I wanted to have that much sex I don’t think I could find that many people in that amount of time.

Oh trust, I’m a gay man and know how it goes. Guys are like, I’m on PreP so I can have sex without a condom and I’m like, no, that’s not how this is supposed to work.

Sex addiction is more common than sex work? Since when?

I just assumed it was work....I mean that he’s a sex worker.

Honestly, I wonder if this man was having sex for money for some of these. No judgment at all, it seems like it would be absolutely the most responsible thing to be on PrEP if you’re going to sell sex as a gay man, plus it would explain not just the numbers but the consistently high numbers of partners he had every…

This was my assumption as well. I don’t think he’s working a 9-to-5 job and then spending his nights picking up that many guys at the nearest bar...this is his 9-to-5.

i dunno, 75 partners in a month doesn’t sound all that fun to me, it sounds more like work. and chafing.

It may not be 100% but for most people it seems to offer excellent protection. You can take down a battleship if you throw enough rocks at it.

I keep remembering something Howard Stern said. That Trump had the greatest life Stern could imagine before he decided to run for president. Living in a literal golden tower, a beautiful wife, setting your own schedule, everyone adoring you (or pretending to). Now, this. I can’t imagine how long he’ll be willing to…

Alternate choice: all the members of 3 Doors Down

Well they wouldn’t let him pick his on team, and he got a chance to see what a shit show this admin is, or “shit sandwich “ as he said. I worked with retired special operators who only had good things to say about him and I’m not surprised in the end he turned it down based off of what I’ve heard about him.

I’d like to think getting a few good people in to this goat rodeo would help but look how they treated Sally Yates. Anyone who won’t fall in line and tell any lie they give you is just asking to be outright fired. And even if you aren’t fired, who knows what tomfoolery will go on to ruin your good name? I guess we’ll…

Especially since Van Jones and Ana Navarro are pundits, not reporters. Navarro is clearly in the Republican establishment and Van Jones is on the left. They’re supposed to hate Trump. That’s their fucking job.

Jared Kushner looks like the perfect, caring fiancé in a L&O SVU episode who is later revealed to have been kidnapping all those brunettes and dressing them up in his late mother’s clothes.
