Transformative HIV prevention pill to be offered on the NHS from September A “transformative” HIV prevention drug will be made available on the NHS from September after a High Court battle.
NHS England said the pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) treatment will be provided to an initial 10,000 people via a three-year trial.
It comes in the form of a pill, called Truvada, that is taken before sex and has been shown to reduce the chance of contracting HIV in high-risk individuals by around 86 per cent. The Independent
