PrEP-to-Need (PnR)

The 2018 PrEP-to-Need Ratio (PnR) is the ratio of the number of PrEP users in 2018 to the number of people newly diagnosed with HIV in 2017. PnR serves as a measurement for whether PrEP use appropriately reflects the need for HIV prevention. A lower PnR indicates more unmet need.
