If testing is frequent and widespread enough, eradication or near-eradication will result.
PrEP is a good thing because people who are on PrEP can be required to test frequently as a condition to obtain new medication (not sure if that happens in the US, but it does elsewhere).
- wayoutthere 5y agoYes, it is a requirement in the US too.
- tomjen3 5y agoAre we sure that requirement doesn't backfire? i.e people skip prep because of the extra effort?
- devit 5y agoIt might, although current PrEP can cause kidney damage so it's a good idea to monitor for that, which means you need to draw blood anyay and so doing STD tests as well doesn't result in any additional inconvenience.
