HIV diagnosis for 15 men waiting for drug on NHS

HIV diagnosis for 15 men waiting for drug on NHS At least 15 people in England have tested HIV positive while waiting to get a place on a trial for a pill which prevents the disease.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (Prep) is a daily tablet which can stop a person from getting HIV.

England is the only place in the UK where places on a trial to access the drug through the NHS are restricted.

The Department of Health said plans are under way for "routine commissioning" when the trial ends next year. BBC News
