High efficacy of on-demand pre-exposure prophylaxis is confirmed

(ANRS) The last phase of ANRS IPERGAY has confirmed that 'on-demand' pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective method of reducing the risk of HIV infection in men who have sex with men and who report high-risk behavior. These results will be presented at AIDS 2016 in Durban, South Africa. From late 2016, a vast research program, ANRS PREVENIR, will assess PrEP on a large scale in Paris and its suburbs.
