CDC Updates Post-Exposure Prophylaxis Guidelines The agency now recommends Biktarvy or a dolutegravir combination to prevent HIV acquisition after non-occupational exposure.

In a long-awaited update, the CDC has issued new guidelines for HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). The new guidance—the first revision since 2016—now recommends Biktarvy or a dolutegravir combination to prevent HIV acquisition after non-occupational exposure such as sex or injection drug use.

@balint.house.gov is right.

Kids deserve to be safe, have fun with their friends, and be kids without being humiliated by members of Congress.
