The figures below show the relationship between PrEP efficacy and adherence, and the status of regulatory action on PrEP worldwide. Different countries are moving at Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis different speeds. Many are looking to demonstration projects—small-scale pilots that provide information on how to deliver PrEP in real-world settings. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the projects that are currently delivering PrEP are outside of sub- (PrEP) by the Numbers Saharan Africa. This despite the fact that sub-Saharan Africa is where many new HIV acquisitions, particularly via sexual transmission, are taking place today. Now is the time to take regulatory action and to move ahead with demonstration projects linked Efficacy, regulatory approval and more to plans for scale-up. Other formulations of ARV-based prevention are also being evaluated and could provide additional options in the future.

PrEP Works if You Take It — Effectiveness and Adherence in Trials of Oral and Topical Tenofovir-Based Prevention

100 Trials of oral and topical CAPRISA 004 (tenofovir gel, BAT-24 dosing) tenofovir-based PrEP show 80 iPrEx that these strategies reduce 60 risk of HIV infection if they TDF2 40 are used correctly and Partners PrEP (TDF) consistently.

Regulatory Approval in Trial Host Countries for Daily TDF/FTC

The TDF/FTC combination pill TDF/FTC approved (brand-name Truvada) that for prevention has shown efficacy for PrEP is United States already used for treatment in HIV-positive people, and so Regulatory application filed for a prevention is approved and licensed in indication for TDF/FTC many countries. One key step Australia for this PrEP strategy is to Brazil South Africa ensure that the drug is licensed Thailand (and therefore available) and that it is approved for use for Trial host countries with both prevention and treatment no regulatory application filed for prevention in each country. So far, the Botswana Kenya US is the only place where this Canada Peru has taken place. National Ecuador Tanzania France Uganda guidelines for PrEP use are Germany United Kingdom another key step.
