NOTE: Thank you to everyone who responded. The survey is now closed but the results will be reported in early 2024, together with the linked BHIVA survey in health workers.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Leaflet<\/a>New-Fill has been available and commissioned from the NHS for over 15 years as a way to correct for facial fat loss caused by early HIV drugs, principally stavudine (d4T) and zidovudine (AZT).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is an injectable non-permanent filler that works by generating new collagen growth rather than being used as a traditional filler. The higher volumes used to correct HIV-related lipoatrophy require specialist services.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Some clinics already have either an in-house service or a commissioned referral route to a local clinic. However, access to New-Fill still seems to vary by hospital and region. These services were put on-hold due to COVID-19 which has reduced the number of people who can be treated.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Community survey<\/p><\/div>\n

A pilot project is looking to map current access to services to help understand the demand for New-Fill in order to support more stable and equitable access.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully showing a continued unmet need, we can keep proper funding and commissioning support to make sure services are stable for the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There are two short surveys – one for community and one for health professionals.<\/p>\n

Both surveys will end on 30 November 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Community survey via the UK-CAB.
