According to the CDC, 1 in 8 of the 1.2 million people living with HIV in the United States are unaware of their HIV status and only half of those known to be infected are receiving effective anti-retroviral therapy. The combination pill tenofovir/emtricitabine has been FDA approved for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). In this podcast will review the current state of PrEP therapy. (Reference: HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, a review: JAMA, 2018.)
