NEWS: HIV prevention pill Truvada backed by US experts

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-18030057

The panel has approved "Truvada", a single drug against HIV and help prevent it. 
Some agencies are in favor, as FDA, AIDS Vaccine Advocacy or Terrance Higgins Trust, AIDS patients currently have to take a drug cocktail with this drug with a single pill is enough. Furthermore, not only struggle with those who are already sick, it's also a preventive drug. 
Other agencies such, as AIDS Healthcare Foundation or nurse Karen Haughey, as it's a treatment that should always be taken because it has no effect, and it's doubtful that patients don't ever forget the pill. Another fear is that if approved the drug, people stop using condoms as thinking it's a 100% secure or HIV virus will be more resistant to drugs.
