Abstract

Given evidence to date, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for people who inject drugs should be implemented alongside efforts to improve access to existing evidence-based HIV prevention interventions, including antiretroviral therapy and opioid agonist treatments. The criminalization and marginalization of people who inject drugs has and will continue to limit the effectiveness of HIV prevention strategies, including PrEP.
