About this activity

Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) are cornerstone strategies for preventing HIV transmission in high-risk populations and after potential exposure, respectively. This session will provide an overview of the indications, pharmacology, and administration protocols for PrEP and PEP. Emphasis will be placed on counseling, adherence, and monitoring for side effects and drug resistance. Additionally, the session will address challenges in implementation, including accessibility and patient education. Understanding these preventive strategies is vital for reducing HIV incidence and achieving public health goals in HIV prevention.
