Check Out Vice’s Docu-Series ‘The Truvada Revolution’

Truvada has been treated as something of a miracle drug, in no small part because it's kind of a miracle. The pill, which is designed to prevent HIV in non-infected individuals, was just approved to be distributed to high risk individuals living in Los Angeles County, but even still, it's largely a misunderstood drug.

Vice (link below) recently produced a docu-series titled The Truvada Revolution that hopes to shine a light on the drug and the enormous impact it is sure to have once it becomes more widely talked about. The series' logline is as follows...

A drug called Truvada is the first FDA-approved means of preventing HIV infection. If an HIV-negative person takes the pill every day, he or she is nearly 99 percent protected from contracting the virus. Controversy continues to surround the broad uptake of Truvada, but the landscape of safer sex and HIV prevention changes fundamentally from this point forward—particularly within the gay male community, the population hit hardest by HIV in America. In this episode of VICE Reports, VICE explores the future of the Truvada and its revolutionary impact on ending HIV/AIDS.
