I think this is disturbing. "As a practical matter, price could limit use. The pills cost from $5,000 to $14,000 a year in the United States, but only 39 cents a day in some poor countries where they are sold in generic form."

Yea, I get that it's still being tested. I was just trying to wrap my mind around what the pill itself does. It goes without saying that it needs to be coupled with other protective measures, but I'm just trying to figure out what the pill is doing for it to work in gay/bisexual men but possibly not in M-F couples.
Ex. If it's attacking the virus, that shouldn't be exclusive to one orientation group (I know this isn't the case, since this is to be a preventative measure, but that's what my thought process is).
