  1. Well not mid informed, here we give prep a form of ART first to see the effectiveness.  And recently have come with a 1 pill two med class medication which similar to truvada did the treatment of HIV. After if needed we go to the next. We start in the weaker end of the 6 major classes as they all worn different. As I am sure you know Of the viral resistance that can develop

    No, it does not.

    PrEP stands for "Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis" and ONLY applies to medication taken by HIV-NEGATIVE people to prevent infection with HIV.

    This study was about people ALREADY infected with HIV, who BY DEFINITION are not on PrEP - they are on ART (which stands for Anti-Retroviral Therapy). These are two different things, even if they may use some of the same medications. The study looked to show what would happen to the viral load of a person who was already HIV-positive (ie, NOT on PrEP) who stopped using ART.

    I realize some ill-informed people assume "PrEP" refers to any and all HIV medication but that is absolutely wrong.
