Abstract
Abstract Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a drug that, as demonstrated in clinical trials, when taken makes the user virtually immune to HIV. This has led to numerous countries making the drug available, but little is known about the population level effects of PrEP. Using panel data from 40 European countries I study the effect of countries adopting WHO recommendations to make PrEP available to citizens. I demonstrate that PrEP availability leads to around 15–20 % fewer new HIV infections. My results indicate that PrEP can be an effective tool in reducing HIV incidence.
期刊介绍：
The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy welcomes submissions that employ microeconomics to analyze issues in business, consumer behavior, and public policy. We aim to be an international forum for scholarship, whether the scholarship considers an issue that is general or that pertains to a particular country or region, but authors should bear in mind that our readers come from around the world. Potential issues of interest include: the interaction of firms, the functioning of markets, the effects of domestic and international policy, and the design of organizations and institutions.
