Just curious on others’ perspective:

Dating has completely changed for me since my dx.

I never had a problem with rejection until this, and it’s been humbling since. I’ve disclosed to men that I wasn’t attracted to, knowing they’d be ok with it. I know looks isn’t everything, but I’d like to have an attraction to my person.

With new treatments coming out like Pritelivir and hopefully ABI 5366 in the future, do you foresee people becoming more accepting/educated?

*And before it’s said: Ppl have the right to not want this. We don’t even want this. **

💥 FDA Priority Review = this drug just got fast-tracked for a reason.

When a drug like Pritelivir gets FDA Priority Review, it means regulators believe it could offer a major improvement over current treatment options—not just “another version” of what we already have. This designation doesn’t lower safety standards, but it does speed up the decision timeline, signaling that this drug is being taken very seriously at the highest level.

• FDA aims to make a decision in ~6 months vs ~10 months standard review 

• Given to drugs that may provide significant improvement for serious conditions 

• Does NOT skip safety or effectiveness requirements—same strict review 

• Means the FDA is allocating more resources + faster evaluation 

• Often a signal the drug could become a new standard of care if approved.

•Most consistently reported range across studies: ~70–90% reduction in viral shedding

• Compared to Valacyclovir (~50–70%), Pritelivir still shows stronger suppression overall.

The ESCMID Global 2026 conference is happening now, with this data being presented. (April 17th-21st)

Approximately 2-4 weeks following, expect full datasets & PDFs to be released.
