We have only a couple of weeks left to convince NICE, NHS England and Gilead, the drug's manufacturer, to come together and overturn the decision to reject six-monthly injectable PrEP. https://tht.org.uk/news/tell-nice-nhs-england-and-gilead-dont-block-access-twice-yearly-injectable-prep

The facts are simpler than a wordsearch. HIV medication reduces the amount of the virus in your blood to undetectable levels. Once you're undetectable, you can't pass HIV on during sex and your health is protected. https://tht.org.uk/hiv/understanding-hiv/viral-load-and-being-undetectable

Reposting this because it's never a bad a time to be reminded: people on effective treatment can't pass HIV on during sex. Find out more on our website. https://tht.org.uk/about-us/what-we-do/our-campaigns/cant-pass-it-on

We only have a few weeks left to get the decision overturned and get six-monthly injectable PrEP available in the UK. Sign the petition now. https://tht.org.uk/news/tell-nice-nhs-england-and-gilead-dont-block-access-twice-yearly-injectable-prep
