Another big headline published here in Brazil following yesterday's Truvada annoucement.

Here's the original article in English:

Yeah I know. Maybe they meant to say that it will start to be sold in September?

I think you are confusing "end of AIDS" with a "cure for AIDS"

I think what the author was trying to convey is that with expanded treatment (which has been shown to have a preventative effect), combined with Truvada being used as PrEP as well as PEP there may finally be a reduction of new AIDS cases.
Don't be fancy, just get dancey
