This forms part of the group’s work to monitor and drive forward the implementation of the HIV Action Plan.</p><p> </p><p>HIV PrEP is currently only prescribed at specialist sexual health services, but as we work towards our 2030 ambitions, we will explore opportunities for making it available in a variety of settings. The PrEP roadmap takes into consideration actions needed to improve HIV PrEP access pathways in settings other than specialist sexual health services, including online, general practitioner services and pharmacies, to enable potential future delivery in other settings. The roadmap is expected to be made available by the HIV Action Plan ISG before the end of the year.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 16/11/2023 13:09:52 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

The PrEP monitoring and evaluation framework was published by the UK Health Security Agency in March 2022 and consists of a series of indicators to support local authorities and inform service improvement in PrEP commissioning and delivery, providing local areas with information that can help them address inequalities in uptake of PrEP.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 16/11/2023 13:34:15 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
