There is a generic daily pill (Truvada), a more expensive one (Descovy) and an every two months shot (Apretude.)
Apretude has lower efficacy than Descovy or Truvada, but once you factor in human error in taking a daily pill regimen, it is more even. Human error is a significant factor since the current treatment protocols say if you’re not sure whether or not to take it, it is safer to skip than to accidentally double the dose.
