Stopping HIV? The Truvada Revolution

2015 · EN · STATUS: [ STREAMING ]

Truvada is the first drug approved by the FDA for HIV prevention rather than treatment, and this film follows the fight over what that means for gay men in particular. Doctors explain how a daily pill, taken by someone who is HIV-negative, can cut infection risk dramatically, while public health officials weigh what widespread use could do to infection rates after three decades of an epidemic built around condoms and fear. The film sits with the users themselves, men who describe the relief of sex without constant dread, and with critics who worry the drug will erode safer-sex habits and open the door to other infections. Interviews with researchers, physicians, and activists lay out the science and the stigma side by side, including the backlash some PrEP users faced within their own community. The result is a snapshot of a medical breakthrough arriving faster than the culture around it could adjust.
