    Hope our descendants enjoy paying for life long drugs to prevent a number of diseases (fingers crossed anyway)

      If you’ve ever had someone close to you develop alzheimers, especially family where it was then more likely that you would develop it, you would have no problem paying for drugs to prevent it for life. It’s probably the cruelest thing that can happen to a person in life.

          And would you take a tablet a day to prevent it? As someone in roughly the same situation as you, I’d do it in a heartbeat.

            Pretty much depends on the price. If it is over the counter painkiller pricing yes if it is hiv med pricing no
