A recent study published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases showed that Truvada can help ward off HIV infection when engaging in unprotected sex or exposed from injection drug use. Here are 5 things to know about the drug; 1. Truvada prevented HIV infection in all 657 patients who took it for two and a half years.  2. Previous clinical trials of the drug showed that it had a prevention rate of about 86 percent, not 100 percent as the current study says. 3. Individuals using the drugs are advised to monitor themselves for known side effects, like changes in kidney function. 4. Although HIV infections were prevented among the entire study group, Truvada did not halt infection of other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). 5. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people on PrEP get tested for STIs every six months.

Oh and by the way, the boss in question is single (are there still single men out there?), very sexy and of course, searching. She did not think there was anything wrong with it and besides, her biological clock is fast ticking away. The sad thing was that there was a strict policy against any sort of romance in the office.

We’ve all been through that dating experience… you meet the guy, everything is going perfectly and then bam! All of sudden you or he is not interested any more… and you’re not quite sure what went wrong.  It’s great if you are the party that loses interest, but if you’re the party that’s left behind you’re often left struggling to understand what went wrong.  So what happened?
