PrEPster: Launch of a new website
aidsmap.com - HIV prevention activists in London have launched a new website, PrEPster.info, to educate and agitate for access to pre-exposure HIV prophylaxis (PrEP) on the NHS.
PrEP, mostly commonly taken as a single daily pill of HIV drug Truvada, has been shown to be highly effective at preventing HIV in people who don’t have HIV, when taken before sex.
Although available on private prescription, PrEP is not yet available on the NHS, despite calls from the World Health Organization and The Lancet for it to be made available to those most might likely to be exposed to HIV.
