A weekend spent in the company of rural SA doctors and there was the fairly standard stats; 2 out of the 15 on HIV drugs for post-exposure prophylaxsis. Back here this week and 2 of my 8 colleagues have had to start them too.
It's a scary thought that you'd have to be careful and/or very lucky to get through this year without needing to take them. Although watching your friends throwing up their breakfasts daily certainly encourages you to be very careful.
It also makes me think about how many patients we hand them out to and how disapproving we are of any signs of poor compliance. In drugs with such horrible side-effects, I'm impressed that any of the patients continue taking them.
