A new guide to support people using PrEP in the UK – especially when using generic PrEP bought online. [1]
This resource is timely given the recent decision by NHS England to block doctors from prescribing PrEP – even to people with a very high HIV risk. [2, 3]
The second edition of this 24-page A5 booklet, was reprinted in November 2016 with minimal changes to the June 2016 edition.
The guide is available in print and online.
