Introduction to Prophylactic HIV Drugs
Prophylactic drugs for HIV are used for the prevention of AIDS among people who are at a high risk for the disease. Since AIDS is a viral autoimmune disorder, the treatment is much more complicated than bacterial diseases. Thus, the prevention of this disease is preferred over its cure, thereby resulting in a growing demand for preventive HIV drugs all across the globe. HIV is a retrovirus that compromises the immune system of the body and spreads to another person through certain body fluids such as blood, semen and breast milk.
Market Size and Forecast

Out of these, only 62% were anticipated to receive anti-retroviral therapy for the treatment as reported by W.H.O. in the same year. The prophylactic HIV medication consist of fixed-dose combination of drugs taken either before or after possible exposure of HIV. On the basis of this, these drugs are of two types: pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). The prophylactic HIV drugs market is anticipated to record a significant CAGR over the forecast period, i.e., 2019-2027. The market is segmented by drug, by dosage form, by distribution channel and by region. On the basis of dosage form, the market is further segmented into oral dosage forms and topical medication forms, out of which, the oral dosage forms segment is anticipated to hold the largest share in the prophylactic HIV drugs market on account of ease of administration of drugs in the form of tablets and capsules. The increased availability of oral forms of prophylactic HIV drugs at offline pharmacies as well as online and as OTC drugs are some additional factors responsible for the significant market share of oral dosage forms.
