There is a generic daily pill (Truvada), a more expensive one (Descovy) and an every two months shot (Apretude.)

Apretude has lower efficacy than Descovy or Truvada, but once you factor in human error in taking a daily pill regimen, it is more even. Human error is a significant factor since the current treatment protocols say if you’re not sure whether or not to take it, it is safer to skip than to accidentally double the dose.

The data I've seen shows apretude is more effective, not less

First party, but I assume there's a lot more rigor and regulation on this than normal first party claims: https://apretude.com/about-apretude/clinical-trials

Seen these on commercial, I wish they stop with commercial for meds. Depressing asf, keep reminding me of my mortality while I’m trying to relax and enjoy a moment

Do you mean you don't want to be reminded of the risk of STDs when about to engage is sex?

[m3kw9]

I was talking about med ads in general, and yes I don’t need to be reminded humans can get stds from unprotected sex, nor I think that is a place for it

Definitely one of the weird things I noticed in America. Most countries do not have medical adverts, for obvious reasons.

Yeah was going to comment the same. Always really strange to see so many adverts for medication when I visit the US.
