A good news story..
A large clinical trial in South Africa and Uganda has shown that a twice-yearly injection of a new pre-exposure prophylaxis drug gives young women total protection from HIV infection.

@junesim63 @stefano I'm not sure about male circumcision, in that (at least) a faultlessly professional former colleague, a world-class researcher, who was circumcised – and NEVER discussed things such as his sex life or genitals – very vocally and unequivocally described it as "BARBARIC".
What's more important than me not being sure? For starters: modern research, and the fight against HIV.
Thank you, June.
I doubt that @stefano will recognise this particular line, @junesim63 might:
"She walks like beauty in the night … only I'm sitting, and it's mid-afternoon."
Pictured: June.
Context: A Matter of Life and Death.
Suddenly: I'm quite emotional.

A dying man recites poetry … a clock tells an unrecognisable time … a neurologist observes the listener through the dark eye of a camera obscura … strange beginnings to an extraordinary motion picture.

Oh, it's for YOUNG WOMEN?
This is going nowhere in the US for at least the next four years...
