Discovery of the day
This modelling study evaluates the cost-effectiveness of distributing HIV pre-exposure (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) through online pharmacies in western Kenya, finding the approach can avert substantial infections even at low population coverage. The analysis attributes most health benefits to PEP, driven by its high observed demand relative to PrEP in the pilot data, suggesting user preferences shape prevention impact. For professionals focused on health behavior and prevention, these findings highlight how leveraging private-sector digital retailers could offer an efficient, scalable model for HIV prevention amid shrinking donor funding.
