Regarding HIV/AIDS, people are allowed to import antiretrovirals. Also, there are treatment facilities offered to all people, including foreigners. The "TARGA" treatment is provided to Peruvians and foreigners at no charge, which you can find at public hospitals and the Health Centres Network.<ref>[http://www.hivtravel.org/Default.aspx?PageId=143&CountryCode=PE HIV Travel: Peru]</ref> | |||
Regarding PrEP, according to PrEPWatc: "Peru hosted three sites in the phase III iPrEx trial, and the open-label extension of iPrEx. Several studies have shown the cost-effectiveness of rolling out PrEP in Peru, as well as looked at delivery issues such as provider attitudes and acceptability. Truvada is registered for treatment. In April 2016 the Peru Ministry of Health approved the use of fixed-dose combination of tenofovir disoproxyl fumarate and emtricitabine for PrEP. There is no national PrEP policy or guidance at present. Peruvian NGOs, such as Epicentro and Investigaciones Médicas en Salud (Inmensa), have worked on PrEP research and advocacy."<ref>[http://www.prepwatch.org/peru/ PrEP in Peru]</ref> | |||
