Medicine can cut risk by 90 percent, but it's not approved for prevention
Thailand has been a hot destination for Chinese tourists for years. Yet many now are
heading to the Southeast Asian country for a new reason－to buy cheap drugs to prevent
HIV.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis, commonly known as PrEP, is a type of medicine that, if taken
daily, can reduce the risk of HIV infection via sexual intercourse by more than 90
percent, according to health studies.
Several countries recommend the drugs as a weapon to prevent the spread of HIV among
people in high-risk groups, such as gay men.
However, the China Food and Drug Administration approved PrEP in 2015 for the treatment of HIV/AIDS－not prevention－which means doctors are not allowed to prescribe it to patients unless they test positive for the virus.
