Could the key to HIV prevention be HIV treatment? If a team of Canadian researchers is correct, providing HIV meds to everyone who needs them could prevent two out of every three HIV infections by 2030. HIV-positive individuals who manage to suppress their infection with drug cocktails also become much less infectious themselves. The researchers used a mathematical formula to crunch the numbers, using the Canadian province of British Columbia as a test case. They estimate that, if every HIV-positive person in the province started treatment before their CD4 count fell below 200 and took their meds properly, HIV infection rates would drop 62 percent by 2030.
