1 Tenvir-Em Tenvir EM is a generic version of Truvada and is used as part of a regiment of antiretroviral medications to treat HIV-1 in adults over 18.

2 Tenvir Em PrEP PrEP is an overarching term for a type of medication regimen to prevent contraction of HIV. PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis. “Pre-exposure” in this context is in reference to exposure to HIV/AIDS. Prophylaxis simply means preventing disease. In this case, it is about preventing the contraction of HIV. The AIDS epidemic originated in Sub-Saharan Africa in the early 1900’s. In the United States, the first cases of this disease appeared in The epidemic spread rapidly, thought to be primarily transmitted through sexually active gay men and transgender women. It should be noted that the viral infection is not AIDS but HIV, which later develops into AIDS. HIV is transmitted through these bodily fluids: All seminal fluids, blood, breast milk, rectal fluids, and vaginal fluids. HIV is contracted by unprotected sex with someone who has HIV or AIDS and sharing injection drug equipment such as needles. HIV can be contracted in many other ways but in the United States, those are the top contraction agents.
