   If event-based dosing is recorded in patient records or service registers, efforts must be made to ensure the confidentiality and security of these records, since event-based dosing will identify these clients as men who have sex with men.

   TDF/FTC has also shown benefit when taken "on demand," or "event-based dosing,” operationalized as two pills on the day of potential exposure through sexual intercourse, and one pill daily up to 72 hours after the last potential exposure.

3. public healthPertaining to exposure (to toxic substances, radiation, etc.) that results from a (usually accidental) event, as opposed to chronic or regularly-occurring exposure.

   Event-based intake values are converted to final intake values by multiplying the intake per event by the frequency of exposure events, over the timeframe being considered in an exposure assessment.

   A chief advantage of the microdosimetric event-based approach is that one measures directly the energy deposition responsible for the carcinogenic effect and thus there is no need to know the kind of particle or the energy of the carcinogenic effect and thus there is no need to know the kind of particle or the energy of the particle that produced an energy deposition event.

   It would be almost impossible to estimate the exposure to a speccified substance on an event-based level, due to a lack of appropriate data and since the intakes and the concentration in the sources will show variation from event to event .
