This year, the FDA approved the first drug for preventing HIV infection in adults: Truvada. Doctors have been using the drug to treat HIV-positive patients since 2004, but they only recently determined that people who are HIV-negative can take the drug to prevent infection in the first place. A daily dose, which combines two compounds that block HIV from replicating-, reduces transmission rates by 70 percent. $37/pill
