Most Extensive Real-World Study on HIV Prevention Drug PrEP: The Results Are in
A landmark study indicates HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) used in everyday life reduces the chances of being infected with the virus by 86 percent.
HIV PrEP (commonly referred to simply as PrEP) works by preventing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from entering the body and replicating.
Clinical trials have found it to be up to 99 percent effective against the sexual transmission of HIV when taken consistently, at least four times per week.
