Please note, a PrEP patient is defined as any patient dispensed only emtricitabine with tenofovir disoproxil and not any other antiretroviral. This is to exclude patients receiving emtricitabine with tenofovir disoproxil as part of an HIV treatment regimen (and thus not PrEP). 

We trust that this information answers your queries. We are making our information more freely available, so we now publish selected OIA responses (excluding personal details) on our website. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions about this.
