(FHI360) Investigators from the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) today announced key results from the HPTN 073 Study at the 2016 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Boston, Massachusetts. The study showed high uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for prevention of HIV infection among black men who have sex with men (BMSM) in the US with the use of a novel coordinated counseling and care approach resulting in findings suggestive of a lower rate of HIV infection.
