Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a preventive strategy used to reduce the risk of contracting HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) in individuals who are at high risk of HIV infection. PrEP involves taking a daily medication, usually a combination of two antiretroviral drugs (Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and Emtricitabine), to lower the chances of becoming infected with HIV.
