USPHS and CDC PrEP Recs
Consider PrEP for individuals who are at substantial risk of HIV acquisition, including:
Substantial risk includes:
- Sexually active MSM
- Heterosexually active
women and men
- IDUs (PWIDs)
- (Transgender women and
men)*
- Using condoms inconsistently
- High number of sex partners
- HIV+ sex partner
- Recent STD
- HIV+ injecting partner
- Sharing injection or drug
preparation equipment

*Not a specific GL recommendation
PrEP: Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis
What do we know about efficacy and safety?
Highly effective if taken as directed
(preferably daily) - >90%
- iPrEx study in MSM (and TG women), 2
studies in heterosexual men and women
Does NOT work if not taken regularly*
- eg, VOICE and Fem-PrEP studies in women
Efficacy strongly tied to adherence AEs: mild “start-up syndrome” (GI); rare
serious AEs. Small decreases in Cr and bone density.
* # of doses/week required for efficacy is not well defined; may be higher for women than for men.
