چکیده
PrEP is the regular use of an antiretroviral medication by people who are uninfected to prevent the acquisition of HIV infection. Currently Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF/FTC) or tenofovir alone is used. Since 2010, the efficacy of oral PrEP has been shown in four randomised controlled trials [1-4]. In 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that PrEP should be offered as an additional prevention option for people at substantial risk of HIV infection as part of combination prevention approaches [5].
