From what I've read previously, this isn't a surprise - PrEP is expected to make a huge impact where it's available and this study sounds like it could be very influential in getting it made available elsewhere which is, I think, its real value - the public health effect rather than the individual-level effect.
The article linked below also details some of the pitfalls campaigners had to overcome to get it funded on the NHS in the UK - the biggest hurdle was not convincing people of effectiveness but that there was a need in the first place - as safer sex is much cheaper but in practice just doesn't always happen and we're probably at, or close to, the limit of what education can achieve now.
