PrEP is a cocktail of anti-HIV drugs that prevents infection if taken daily. It’s been combined into convenient single-dose pills called Truvada and Descovy. These drugs have a high price tag, but insurance covers it, and if you don’t have insurance the manufacturer Gilead will reimburse you. Great for people like me in the US. But it’s not widely distributed in developing countries where HIV is killing a lot more people. That’s where a vaccine would have the most benefit.
