An analysis of 32 studies of Truvada (tenofovir/emtricitabine) as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) found that almost all of those who contracted HIV had undetectable or very low levels of the drug in their bodies at the time. Researchers from Gilead Sciences, Truvada’s manufacturer, presented the findings from their analysis of these studies at the ASM Microbe 2016 conference in Boston.
The investigators in the trials conducted dried blood spot tests on participants to determine levels of tenofovir in specific blood cells at the time they contracted HIV. These tests can detect adherence to Truvada with a window looking back about eight weeks.
