The CDC now recommends daily treatment with Truvada (300 mg tenofovir
disoproxil fumarate and 200 mg emtricitabine) to lower the risk for
HIV acquisition among high-risk adults.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis with Truvada is recommended in the following
groups-
Men who have Sex with Men-
not in a monogamous relationship who engage in unprotected anal
intercourse
Heterosexually active adults who rarely use condoms during sex with
high-risk partners of unknown HIV status
All adults in an ongoing relationship with an HIV-infected partner
Injection drug users who share needles
Individuals must test negative for HIV before beginning Truvada, and
they should be assessed every 3 months thereafter. Those who acquire
HIV should discontinue the drug.
