I think PrEP is great and I don't think we do a great job of getting it to people for whom it makes sense. That being said, the CDC has an excellent position on who should be getting it and that's not a lot of people.

PrEP is well tolerated given it's known side effects but conservative medicine dictates that we don't prescribe medications unless we have a measurable benefit and that's not a large group of people. A homosexual male who has lots of unprotected sex with strangers should probably be on it. A hetereosexual mostly monogamous person probably shouldn't be.

A big factor here is that the prevalence of HIV in the US is low, at .34%. Globally it's a bit higher at .48%. It is also often not that contagious. That being said, under the right circumstances it could be so it's real important to be aware of the risk factors.
