1st, our internet went out last night, I'm doing this quickly in case of a repeat. I'm tired this morning. This weather & crap is keeping me worn out.
2nd, according to this piece, the maker of Truvada, Gilead is filing a counter suit. The US has filed litigation against the company for violating agreements. The drugmaker claims the US violated the agreement by secretly filing patents protections. I have no idea where this will end up.
3rd, this article ties HIV research to COVID-19. The piece discusses the drug Cabotegravir which is a long acting med similar to Dolutegravir, in drugs like Triumeq. The difference being Cabotegravir has a much longer half-life & has been tied to long lasting HIV med research.
Most research is looking at 1-3 months, this study is looking into an annual injection. The piece says it would not only being a treatment but act as a vaccine for the duration. This wouldn't be a vaccine, but a short term stand in for it.
The piece was rather click-baity with it's tie to COVID-19. The only thing it mentioned was this kind of research could be applied to treating COVID. Sort of a cheap shot, but the article is interesting.
4th, it's supposed to storm pretty bad this evening. It could knock out the net & power. If it does, it may take a while for things to get back up. Tomorrow's post could be late. Hopefully, it won't be that bad.
Cya...
