Earlier this week, it surfaced that an Australian man (who has been on PreP for some time) allegedly contracted the virus even while taking the pill. But,  after carefully looking around the web, we discovered that there is/was actually a piece missing to this shocking story. 

The man, identified as 27-year-old Steven Spencer lives in Australia.  While the story seems murky, Spencer remains firm in his claim that he has been on PreP consistently throughout his treatment.  According to (this report) he was diagnosed in December.
