Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) using the antiretroviral medication emtricitibine/tenofovir approved in countries around the world is a highly effective means of reducing transmission of HIV through sexual encounters and needle sharing.
This Johns Hopkins University course PrEPares you with essential information, concepts and practical advice regarding PrEP from leaders in the field.
