Truvada is one pill (made up of two medications) which is generally not taken by someone every day for their rest of their life. Truvada is also a modern medication which is generally taken alone for Prep whereas most HIV+ persons are on more than one pill or, eventually will be.
My “attempt” represents modern, up-to-date, informed opinion - http://theconversation.com/how-hiv-b...-disease-51238 - whereas you seem focused on scare-mongering. The recommended regime for PrEP is daily since the lead time before it becomes effective is a recommended 7 days - https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/prep.html. It’s not the HIV equivalent to the morning-after pill for breeders

As a diabetic I can assure you I’m intimately familiar with the daily medication regime for chronic illnesses - in my case Lantus insulin injected twice daily, 2000 grams of metformin, 120 grams of Gliclazide, a new drug called Jardiance, once of whose unpleasant side effects can be thrush, and that’s beside the blood pressure and cholesterol drugs that are a common co-requirement
