A recent article shows that, through PEPFAR, CDC supported over 2.2 million people in starting pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) across 37 countries from 2017 to 2023.

Oral PrEP is a highly effective medication that is taken before exposure to prevent HIV infection. When taken consistently, PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV by 99 percent.
