    IAS-USA recommends Descovy (TAF/FTC) for cisgender females: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2835835

    "Additionally, a 2025 analysis provided evidence for an 89% reduction in risk for HIV acquisition in cisgender women who had biomarker evidence of taking at least a mean of 2 doses of tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine per week.5 Therefore, tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine is now recommended for prevention of HIV acquisition from vaginal exposures for those in whom tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine is contraindicated or undesirable (AIIb)."
