ABSTRACT
'Pre-exposure prophylaxis' (PrEP) has been recently developed as a prevention strategy which involves the administration of drugs to non-infected individuals who present high exposure or susceptibility to HIV. Although this use is not approved in our country, several guidelines recommend PrEP as a prevention option in adult MSM, heterosexual men and women, and users of parenteral drugs at risk of acquiring the infection. This article presents the characteristics that an ideal agent to be used as PrEP should meet, recent efficacy published data and barriers for the implementation of this new strategy. On the other hand, the role of hospital pharmacists will be discussed (AU)
RESUMEN
La 'profilaxis pre-exposición (PrEP)' ha sido recientemente desarrollada como una estrategia de prevención que consiste en la administración de medicamentos a los individuos no infectados que presentan una alta exposición y susceptibilidad al VIH. Aunque este uso no está aprobado en nuestro país, varias guías recomiendan la PrEP como una opción de prevención en HSH adultos, hombres y mujeres heterosexuales, y los usuarios de drogas parenterales en riesgo de adquirir la infección. Este artículo presenta las características que un agente ideal para ser utilizado como profilaxis pre-exposición debe cumplir, los datos de eficacia recientemente publicados y las barreras para la implementación de esta nueva estrategia. Por otra parte, se discute el papel de los farmacéuticos del hospital en la posible implantación de esta estrategia en el futuro (AU)
