A University of Pittsburgh study published in PLoS ONE reports that giving a daily antiretroviral pill to people could profoundly slow the spread of the infection in sub-Saharan Africa by potentially preventing 3.2 million cases in 10 years. The findings are based on a mathematical model developed to predict the public-health impact of pre-exposure chemoprophylaxis -- an HIV prevention strategy that uses antiretroviral drugs to stop the infection from occurring in the first place.

It could divide along the lines of nuclear power, global warming and other contentious environmental issues absent a major public education and engagement effort by industry, government, civic groups and scientists," said Dan M. Kahan, the Elizabeth K. Dollard Professor at Yale Law School. His conclusions are based on the findings of a new web-based public opinion survey of U.S. public perceptions of nanotechnology.

Feel-good stories of self-transformation are masking messages about the importance of conforming to society’s ideals regarding gender, age, class and race.
