"They should take these results and find out how pre-exposure prophylaxis would play out in the real world."

An excellent safe vaccine is now available for use prior to travel (pre-exposure prophylaxis).

Logistically, the efficient and effective use of pre-exposure prophylaxis is very difficult to achieve.

Pre-Exposure prophylaxis is given for several reasons.

Pharmacologic pre-exposure prophylaxis (to prevent disease before exposure to the environment and/or vector).

The studies on this last approach, called pre-exposure prophylaxis or PrEP, have been mixed.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis means taking a daily dose of medication for a number of weeks prior to expected exposure.

The drug has been approved for pre-exposure prophylaxis against HIV infection.

It is being investigated for use as part of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).

Some doctors have already been using the experimental approach, called pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP for short.

The authors also found that both behavioural changes and adherence to the pre-exposure prophylaxis drug regimens affected programme effectiveness.

The new strategy is called pre-exposure prophylaxis, and that is an approach that has been used successfully in certain other diseases.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis is recommended for people of increased risk of contracting rabies, such as:

The concept is known as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).

“Treatment as prevention, pre-exposure prophylaxis, and microbicides offer exciting new ways to slow the spread of HIV.

Table 7 Recommended usage for pre-exposure prophylaxis against hepatitis A. Potential candidates for the vaccine are 1.

• Hepatitis B vaccination (pre-exposure prophylaxis).

At the same time, funding for both microbicides and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) increased by eight and 13 percent, respectively.

The researchers expressed excitement that a preventive medical treatment, known as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), could now help all groups at the highest risk for the disease.

Many serodiscordant couples use pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to limit transmission of the infection to the uninfected partner.

Products known as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, or PrEP, are also being tested at various stages of the development process.

The authors say: "Our findings show that pre-exposure prophylaxis has the potential to be a cost-effective addition to HIV prevention programmes in some settings."

Absolute risk reduction of seasonal influenza ranged from 1.1 to 4% for pre-exposure prophylaxis to 10-15% for post-exposure prophylaxis.

Initially, it is highly probable that Tamiflu® used either as pre-exposure prophylaxis or post-exposure prophylaxis will be efficacious against a pandemic virus.
