@janallmac Pre-exposure prophylaxis is a term for anything that prevents a disease from taking hold in the system. Vaccines are a kind of prep, but medications can be too. https://www.hiv.gov/hiv-basics/hiv-prevention/using-hiv-medication-to-reduce-risk/pre-exposure-prophylaxis

This is good news, but I wish Gilead would change their name, that confused me for a beat.
I've never heard of a "Pre Exposure Prophalalaxis" before -- I need to learn more... like, how is that different from a vaccine?
Either way, excellent news! 🎉
