I was reading on the web that clamav is not an “endpoint antivirus solution” but at the same time its called the best antivirus for gnu/linux and gnu/linux servers. Is worth for a desktop/personal computer?

    clam-av is like an anti-virus condom – there are significantly better ways to protect yourself but if you’re not aware them, or don’t want to put in the effort, or just don’t want to bother for whatever reason; then it’s there and it’s better than nothing. lol

          Doxycycline is an antibiotic, they are famous for having no effect on viruses as e.g. HIV. And even if the other party involved is honest with you they might not know that they have an STD, some are already contagious without an positive test.

            Doxypep is a really common preventative prescription 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.
