In this podcast episode, we explore HIV prevention and the innovative tools that can change the course of the epidemic. Infectious disease specialist Hortencia Peralta explains the current situation in Latin America, the importance of HIV testing as the gateway to prevention, and details what PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is, its oral and injectable forms, and who it is recommended for. In addition, the episode addresses access challenges, the combined prevention strategy, and the paradigm shift needed to eliminate HIV as a public health problem.
