New Pill May Prevent HIV In Drug Users Who Inject
We are one step closer to a real cure for HIV/AIDS. A new study conducted in Thailand shows that Tenofovir cut the risk of infection in heroin, meth and other injection drug users by nearly 50%. Based on the findings, the CDC recommended that doctors consider prescribing Tenofovir to those who inject drugs. It blocks the virus from making copies and spreading through the body. In the U.S., Tenofovir is included in an AIDS drug called Truvada…which costs about $14k a year. We still have a ways to go, but breakthroughs like this definitely give us hope!

Erykah Badu Blasts Papoose On Twitter
Eryka Badu wasn’t too pleased with Papoose over the weekend, but she may have put the issues behind her. The songstress got word that Pap had featured her on his debut album The Nacirema Dream on a track called “Cure,” but the thing is…they were old vocals and she’d apparently never given the “ok” for him to feature them. So, she took to Twitter to call him out on it. Pap quickly replied, clearing up the paperwork issue (sort of…), and also complimenting her voice while adding in that it’s a positive track so there shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Apparently that calmed E down, as she never mentioned it again, and actually RT’d a tweet of Pap’s a little later. Check out the exchange in the gallery.
