Is it true that oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a tool to reduce mother-to-child transmission of HIV?

Yes. Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a key biomedical tool used to prevent maternal HIV acquisition during pregnancy and the postpartum period, thereby reducing the risk of mother-to-child transmission.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the role of PrEP in preventing maternal HIV acquisition during pregnancy and breastfeeding, which directly helps eliminate vertical transmission. Papers explicitly highlight PrEP as a vital tool for keeping women free of HIV during these vulnerable periods.
