Additional good news regarding PrEP: in addition to daily Truvada, there are more options now for taking PrEP, including

  • Descovy for daily PrEP: similar but slightly different drug, gentler on kidneys and bones for patients who can't do Truvada
  • PrEP 2-1-1: two pills 2-24 hours before sex, one pill 24 hours after those pills, one pill 24 hours after that pill. Fewer pills total, but only for cis men and trans women, and only with Truvada
  • Apretude: Injectable PrEP, lasts for 8 weeks but requires office visits to doctors and is not likely covered by insurance for most people
