Why do we need PrEP,Aren’t condoms enough?

Research has shown that condoms have not been able to eradicate  HIV from the world. This is due to the fact that condoms are not practical in many cases thus not used or used but don’t provide the desired effect.

Among these cases:

• Sex industry workers many times are required to be involved in unsafe sexual intercourse.

• MSM, in many cases condom usage is not “community acceptable” thus many unsafe sexual intercourses take place.

• Couples that one of them is HIV positive and the other is negative.

• Sex while under drug effect (methamphetamines for example).

• Break of condoms during intercourse and thus unsafe sex.

• Noncompliance for example due to compromised sexual experience with condoms.
