In Vitro Exposure of Leukocytes to HIV Preexposure Prophylaxis Decreases Mitochondrial Function and Alters Gene Expression Profiles

Abstract excerpt

The use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) as preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective strategy for preventing HIV acquisition. The cellular consequences of PrEP exposure, however, have not been sufficiently explored to determine potential effects on health in individuals without HIV. In this study, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from people without HIV were exposed to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate...
