Abstract
Growing data suggest that antiretrovirals can be used as an effective means of HIV prevention. This article reviews the current status and future clinical prospects of utilizing antiretroviral chemoprophylaxis before and after high-risk HIV exposure to prevent HIV transmission. The discussion about using antiretrovirals as a means of primary HIV prevention has moved to the forefront of public health discourse because of a growing evidence base, the increased tolerability of the medications, the decreased cost, the ever-expanding formulary, and the limitations of other approaches.Entities:
