Also, got my terms wrong because I forgot job-specific terminology quirks. Prophylaxis is typically a vaccine...basically the same as preventive. The antiviral treatment studies are really just, well, treatment studies, but we like to call them "post-exposure prophylactic" studies, so we sound smarter. But we really just sound like we don't know what "prophylaxis" means. It's been one of my pet peeves in 10 years of working here, and I'm embarrassed that I've gotten so used to it that I hardly think about it anymore. I'm not going to edit my post because I deserve to be shamed, bahahaha. Now I'll really show myself out.
