Changes to PEP recommendations
Quick update on a presentation by John McAllister
- if source VL is undetectable, then PEP is no longer recommended
- however, do need to discuss the reliability of the history of undetectable VL
- Truvada should be used for PEP
- avoid tenofovir and lamivudine (although cheaper)
- 3-drug PEP
- if 3 drugs are needed, then stick with dolutegravir (ALT increases by 22%), raltegravir or rilpiravine
