I think there’s a good chance we snuff it out in 80 years even if they aren’t. Actual cures seem to be on the horizon.

Why would every male need to be on prep?

Look at how hard it has been to eradicate diseases that only require a couple of doses of a vaccine. How feasible do you think it would be to provide daily prep to every male in the world? Even in developed countries with free vaccinations we are suffering from measles outbreaks in 2025.
