Abstract
It is morally justifiable for every person of good will to venture into HIV and AIDs prevention
among the populace. Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) administration promises to help meet
the promise of this moral claim, which is founded on two ethical principles of ensuring wellbeing and justice for all. In spite of the efforts, challenges abound, especially in Africa. Some
African tenets of sexuality, unavailability of contextualized and harmonized African sexuality
theory as well as Africa’s poor economic standing are major threats to the administration of
PrEP. This paper highlighted the major challenges and calls for their resolution if PrEP
administration is to be of help to the poor and HIV burdened Africans.
