Question

Can Ranega be used to prevent HIV infection?

Hi, if someone is exposed to HIV, is it possible for that person to prevent virus using an ARV drug called Ranega?

Hi there

Some countries use Ranega as PEP.

This is when someone take this oral medicine every day for a month after they were at risk.

    Hi Pinky, do you know your husbands viral load? As he is on treatment, if his viral load is below 200 there is no risk of transmission. You will not require a condom or PrEP to prevent transmission. This is explained by U=U: https://i-base.info/u-equals-u/
