Abstract
In the previous chapter, we were concerned to trace the way that PrEP as a pill, PrEP RCTs and bioethics were collectively and mutually singularized. By focusing on various entities, not least through an engagement with expert and practitioner accounts, we showed how these were enacted as quantitative objects: that is to say, they were stabilized in relation to a set of criteria, measurements, parameterizations or standards that seemingly stood ‘outside’ of the complex events that comprise the trialling of the PrEP pill.
