The drug will be sold under the brand-name Atripla in the U.S. by Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY) and Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD). Merck & Co. (MRK) will be involved in marketing the drug in countries outside the U.S.

Prevention Is Better than Cure.

See, that's all very well. Obviously no one wants to get AIDS, but some things are too hard to control, just through 'prevention', on a macroscopic scale. That is, at an individual level, it is right to advocate restraint and prevention, but when dealing with whole populations, it is not feasable.

PS- Sorry for diggin up olds ghosts :p
