Pre-sex HIV drug should be made available on NHS, MPs say A drug that cuts the chances of contracting HIV during sex should be made available on the NHS in England to anyone at risk, three MPs have told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme.
Tory MPs Crispin Blunt and Nigel Evans, and Labour's Stephen Doughty said the Prep drug had been proven to be cost-effective during continuing trials.
A much cheaper version of Prep could soon be available to the NHS.
NHS England said it would "look at evidence from the trial".
