What are Some Examples of Chemoprophylaxis Programs?
Several successful chemoprophylaxis programs highlight its importance:
HIV PrEP: The use of antiretroviral drugs to prevent HIV infection in high-risk populations. Malaria prophylaxis: The administration of antimalarial drugs to travelers and residents in endemic areas. Tuberculosis prophylaxis: The use of isoniazid to prevent latent TB infection from progressing to active disease. Meningitis prophylaxis: The use of antibiotics to prevent the spread of meningococcal disease among close contacts of infected individuals.
