Summary

  • No increased sexual risk behavior in context of PEP detected when examined systematically[Martin 2004; Donnell 2010; Schechter 2004; Poynten 2009]
  • Clinical trial settings may not be perfect representations of real-world behavior, as trials carefully integrate risk-reduction counseling and biomedical interventions
  • PEP should be paired with behavioral risk-reduction counseling to minimize chances of future and repeat exposures[Roland 2006]
