Dark, Who Knows & Maybes...

 

It's still & wet.  More rain is expected, great, more grass & bugs.  We may not need the AC any more this month, possibly this year.  

The car is still in the shop.  They haven't figured out the issue.  If they don't, it's a waiting game with the car. That sucks.

I found a suggestion of an article.  It's at best midway to a novel approach.  The piece is about PrEP's efficacy.  The current  versions are effective, but only if the regimen is maintained properly.  There are a lot of reasons that may not happen.  The only long acting PrEP options are injections that must be administered by a medical profession.  That may not be an option.   

This work talks about a new antiretroviral from Merck.  This is still an oral option, but has the advantage of being long acting, monthly dose.  This med is based on a Nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor called Islatravir.  So far, this is in the development & research phase.  Human studies are underway.  A monthly dose PrEP could be a game changer.  It could lead to options for people living with HIV as well.

That's all for now, take care.
