The CAPRISA 004 study conducted in South Africa which tested the effectiveness and safety of 1% tenofovir gel showed that the use of tenofovir in a gel formulation reduced HIV acquisition by 39% overall, and by 54% in women with high gel adherence [7]. There have been concerns raised regarding the use of tenofovir in both PrEP and treatment regimens due to the potential for selection of viral mutations and development of resistance in patients who have become HIV-infected while on PrEP.
