Our speeches will do little for those who are buying PrEP online and hoping it will not be seized by customs, which is particularly reprehensible given the alarming rates of new HIV infections being reported.

Nobody went to jail because the system...

If it is of any comfort, we were not alone, as the same happened in France where people were knowingly infected with HIV and the government knew it.
