The pro side says it reduces transmission; the con side says it may cause birth defects. Another issue is whether it makes symptoms worse. The medicine can prolong life but it might also kill healthy cells.

UNAIDS (the Joint United Nations Programme on AIDS)  estimates that 30 million adults and children worldwide have HIV, and that, each day, 16,000 people are newly infected with the virus.
As a greater number of people begin taking protease inhibitors, resistance to the drugs becomes more common, and drug resistance emerges as an area of grave concern within the AIDS community.

PrEP is taken by HIV negative people before having sex (pre exposure), to prevent infection (prophylaxis). PrEP contains two drugs: tenofovir disoproxil and emtricitabine. These are widely used medicines to treat HIV and have been used for over ten years. Both drugs are combined in a single tablet. PrEP is one of several ways to reduce sexual transmission of HIV. Other ways include condoms and changes in sexual behaviour.

The association of HIV/AIDS with gay and bisexual men worsened their stigmatisation, and this association correlated with higher levels of sexual prejudice, such as homophobic and biphobic attitudes. Rising negative sentiments towards homosexuality peaked in 1987, the year before Section 28 was enacted.
