On December 12, Science magazine announced the top ten scientific breakthroughs of 2024. The new AIDS drug Lenacapavir topped the list and was awarded this year's "Science Breakthrough Champion Award."

AIDS has always been a major challenge in the field of global public health. Although the world has made great progress in preventing and treating new HIV infections in the past few decades, more than 1 million people are still infected with HIV each year, and an effective vaccine has not yet been developed. In 2024, an injection that can provide long-term protection was born-Lenacapavir. The biggest highlight of this drug is that as a long-acting HIV injection, only one injection is needed to provide users with near-perfect protection for up to half a year, reducing the risk of HIV infection to almost zero. This is undoubtedly a milestone scientific breakthrough in the field of pre-exposure prevention of AIDS. So, what are the approved drugs for pre-exposure prevention (PrEP) of AIDS?
