What Do You Think About People Taking Prep Only Twice A Year?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

There is a study on a prep injectable that is only taken 2 times a year. Would you suggest to people at risk of HIV to take it?

I really think it's overall indicative of the scientific and prophylaxis advancements being made in this field.

I now serve on the New Hampshire HIV Planning Group and the Integrated HIV Plan & Workgroups in the RESPONSE team, and that is something I most certainly would (1) like to learn more about myself so that I could educate others on this fun fact, and (2) most certainly would promote it as I think that if people realized that they could protect themselves from contracting HIV by just having TWO injections a year as oppose to taking a pill everyday, I think it would interest most people.

Yes definitely. If someone can get by with an injectable twice a year and it be effective. Why not
