Frequently Asked Questions for Providers
Where can I resolve questions about providing PrEP?
The Clinician Consultation Center at UCSF provides clinicians of all experience levels prompt, expert responses to questions about managing HIV/AIDS, perinatal HIV, pre-exposure prophylaxis, and bloodborne pathogen exposures.
Is Truvada or Descovy the best option for PrEP?
Both Truvada (TDF/FTC) and Descovy (TAF/FTC) are safe and appropriate options for PrEP, although the former has robust evidence in multiple populations beyond cisgender men who have sex with men and transgender women. TAF/FTC has not been shown to be more effective than TDF/FTC. Study findings show that TAF/FTC is “noninferior” to TDF/FTC in preventing HIV—meaning that TAF/FTC is not better but, rather, similarly as effective as TDF/FTC.
