Ahem. Excuse me, Mr. Genius sir? This abstract refers to a study
looking at HIV for PRIMARY infection. This usage is not indicated,
and has never been clinically validated. While they use 1000mg
in this study, it's in a context that virtually never happens in
the community. Surely you can do better than this?
