Preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV has gained support in recent years because of the limitations of behavioral and biological prevention strategies, the demonstration of PrEP efficacy in clinical trials, and the endorsement and recommendations for use of PrEP by national organizations and guidelines. In addition to PrEP, postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) also plays an important role in HIV prevention when initiated soon after a potential exposure to HIV.
