Abstract:
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is one of the main methods recommended by international guidelines for preventing HIV infection, and increasing attention has been paid to it in China. In 2019, emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (F/TAF) was approved by the US FDA as the second PrEP option besides emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (F/TDF). This article reviews the latest international guideline recommendations on PrEP, and the relevant clinical study data, discusses the considerations and challenges in implementing PrEP in the context of clinical practice in China, and provides suggestions for improving the awareness, accessibility, affordability and adherence of PrEP.
