Culture Bound Assumptions in Behavior Intention Models.] abstract - Many models of consumer behavior include fundamental assumptions which are rarely questioned.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a course of HIV drugs taken daily by HIV negative people most at risk of HIV to reduce their risk of HIV infection. Truvada is currently the only drug approved for use as PrEP. Truvada is a single pill that is a combination of two anti-HIV drugs, tenofovir and emtricitabine.
PrEP is safe, with minimal and minor side effects. PEP is safe, but some people do experience mild to significant side effects. PrEP is not 100% effective at preventing HIV. It does not prevent the transmission of other STIs like herpes, syphilis, and gonorrhea, nor does it prevent pregnancy. It should be used in combination with condoms and other safe-sex practices.
