HIV drugs

Bravo CDC! Now those who have been raped or made a rare, dangerous sexual choice can receive emergency drug treatment that can keep them from being infected with HIV. This is not a substitute for responsible behavior, nor should it be because of the expediency and intensity of the drug regimen. The looming HIV epidemic among youth and women in this country make this an overdue action.

Adding pre-marriage HIV testing to the already optional pregnancy HIV testing would be another step in this war.
