The Infectious Myth – Terry Michael on PrEP – Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis for HIV/AIDS – 03.07.17

David talks with Terry Michael, a gay man and journalist, about Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, known as PrEP. People at-so-called-risk for HIV infection, mainly gay men and black men and women, are supposed to take these toxic medications for life.

Since Terry has worked in politics before, and describes himself as a libertarian Democrat, they also discuss recent political events.

Best,
David
