  11. 11 Improving HIV prevention • Do better with the strategies that we already have • Develop new biomedical technologies to prevent HIV • Adopt a more comprehensive approach to HIV prevention

  12. July 3, 2012  FDA approved home HIV test

  13. Turning to antiretrovirals for prevention The use of antiretrovirals for prevention by… HIV-positive individuals to reduce their risk of transmitting HIV Treatment as prevention HIV-negative individuals to reduce their risk of infection Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) 13

  14. What is pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)? • Pre  Before (and after) • Exposure  When a fluid containing HIV comes into contact with mucous membranes or non-intact skin • Prophylaxis  An action taken to prevent infection or disease

  15. How does PrEP work? • Infection does not occur instantly after an exposure to HIV • The virus needs to spread throughout the body • This may take up to 3 days after the exposure • The “window of opportunity” for PrEP • The brief period of time - after an exposure - where HIV has not yet spread throughout the body • During this time, PrEP may be able to stop HIV from causing an infection 15 15

  16. What does the research say about PrEP? 16
