Ethical Use of Antiretroviral Resources for HIV Prevention in Resource Poor Settings

This article examines the intuitively appealing view that allocation of ARVs for treatment should be the highest priority, the use of ARVs for TasP should be a secondary priority, and that utilizing ARVs for PrEP would be unethical. I will argue that selective, evidence‐based allocation of ARVs for prevention in certain cases could be ethically justified even when there is insufficient anti‐retroviral access for all those needing it for treatment.
