He was worried that condoms weren't doing enough to keep him safe and had heard that pre-exposure prophylaxis or PrEP — the once-daily pill sold under the name Truvada — was a good idea for people with more than 20163 sexual partners a year.
|
|
So-called HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is highly protective against HIV, and patients taking this daily pill also tend to get tested and treated more often for hepatitis C and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), researchers note in the American Journal of Public Health.
|
|
Mutual of Omaha became the focus of discrimination complaints after applicants, mostly gay men, said they were denied disability, long-term-care or life insurance solely because they were taking Truvada to protect themselves from H.I.V., a practice called PrEP (short for pre-exposure prophylaxis).

Janeen Burlison, senior director of quality at Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest, suggests that preventive treatment such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to combat HIV transmission and the rise of long-acting reversible contraceptives like IUDs could be leading to riskier behavior and reduced condom use.
|
|
"It is an example that demonstrates that PrEP [Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, the use of drugs to prevent infection] can sometimes be ineffective in the face of drug resistant virus, in the same way that treatment itself can sometimes be ineffective in the face of drug resistant virus."
|
|
Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is a combination of two HIV medicines taken daily by those who are at a high risk of contracting the virus, including people who don't always use condoms when having sex with high-risk partners and anyone who injects illicit drugs.

By the 1990s, even before the development of today's magic bullets — antiretroviral drugs, the preventative medication PREP and the post-exposure prophylaxis medication PEP — public health agencies were advocating ways to slow HIV transmission that also protected individuals, such as using condoms, getting tested and communicating with sexual partners.
|
|
Many rightly attribute the condom's decline to the rise of PrEP — an acronym for pre-exposure prophylaxis, a two-drug cocktail that inoculates a person from contracting H.I.V. But another crucial component is the fading memory of the AIDS crisis that once defined what it meant to be gay.
|
|
It also recommends that anyone at high risk — gay men with many sexual partners, people who inject drugs, people whose regular partner is infected, and so on — should be offered pre-exposure prophylaxis, a daily antiretroviral pill that, if taken faithfully, reduces the chances of infection almost to zero.

In the age of treatment as-prevention and pre-exposure prophylaxis, when the risk of getting a positive HIV diagnoses has fallen for all US citizens over the past ten years from 230 in 218 to 224 in 99, why is the situation so dire for black guys who like to have sex with other black guys?
|
|
Theories exploring why this might be happening include people relying on pre-exposure prophylaxis pills (like PrEP, which prevent HIV transmission and may encourage people to play it a bit more fast-and-loose with condoms); budget-slashing among STI education, treatment, and prevention programs; more access to testing and diagnosis; and a general lack of interest in condoms.

Rather, even though I watched my parents die of AIDS when I was young, I still struggle with whether I should take the drug Truvada, a pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) that can protect almost completely against H.I.V. My father was convicted of manslaughter and sent to prison in 1989, where he contracted H.I.V. No one in my family is exactly sure how.

|
Those who test negative but are vulnerable to infection because of sexual activity should take pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, the daily drug regimen that reduces the risk of getting H.I.V. The tragedy is that those tools are sitting on the shelf in many parts of the country, especially the South, where H.I.V. rates are still rising among some groups and where AIDS disproportionately afflicts African-Americans.
