AIDS: Drugs that prevent HIV infection.
- Authors
Wainberg, Mark A.
- Abstract
The article presents studies which examine the efficacy of antiretroviral drug to prevent HIV infection. In the first study, researcher Abdool Karim and colleagues of South Africa show an excellent correlation between the extent of protection and the adherence to the use of tenofovir gel. In the second study, researchers show detectable levels of both emtricitabine and tenofovir in just three of the 34 individuals who became infected.
