PRE-EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS (PrEP)

This new drug (PrEP) is being heavily promoted by the NYC Health Department (USA). Apparently this drug helps prevent HIV infection for those who are HIV Negative and run the risk of being exposed because of their proximity to those with HIV.

This website lists those who should take it : https://www.aids.gov/hiv-aids-ba ... posure-prophylaxis/

I wonder whether anyone in this forum or wgs in Asia have heard of this pill and have started taking it. As it is not a vaccine I worry that too many people may abuse it, leading to a lessening effectiveness of the drug against HIV.

Any thoughts?

PrEP is getting lots of attention in the US

Take a look at                        http://www.hptn.org/

There are many many studies going on now with the PrEP drugs.  Some involve a degree of financial compensation for the participants.

But the downside is, if they are learning about the 'new drugs', then they do not yet know the multitude of side effects, or second order effects of using them.  It all sounds interesting, and will possibly lead to big profits for the drug company who develops a winner.  However, like most things, the unknowns with early tests could also mean negative consequences no one yet can imagine.  Caveat emptor.
