From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Doxypep is a really common preventative prescription cocktail intended to combat HIV and bacterial based STD infections -- i'm genuinely confused why you hadn't heard of it if you're sexually active.
Do you get your healthcare in the United States because that's the only way it makes sense that you haven't heard of it.
Can you find me a source that says that Doxypep is efficent for HIV? Because as i said HIV is a virus and antibiotics typically only work on bacteria.... To be exact they block the 30s ribosomal subunit, HIV does not have that.
And please do not downtalk me and assume some shit about my land of origin or education. That is very unfriendly.
