Post exposure prophylaxis would be a game changer for so many of us trying to avoid COVID.

Even better if we could get a time of pre exposure prophylaxis!

It looks like Ensitrelvir is the first COVID antiviral shown to work as PEP www.contagionlive.com/view/ensitre...

How much will it cost?

Not perfect but wow...unfortunately I believe americans won't be allowed to get it. Well, maybe the dictators will. Their plan is to free up money and resources and stop climate change through aggressive depopulation so this drug would not be sold here.

I don't fully expect to ever go back, but if I could have covid prep access for a handful of times in a year that would change everything.

Right? Same here. I know the way I lived pre 2020 is gone… but having access to something like this could help in a big way. Especially with hospital visits and unavoidable exposures.

I hope it's ok for transplant recipients, it would be nice to be able to take any treatment.

This is very promising. I wonder, however, how often would one need to use it, given that COVID is so widespread and you can be exposed even if other people are asymptomatic.
