Public Health England, in collaboration with stakeholders, is currently developing a monitoring and evaluation framework for the routine commissioning of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). This will use established surveillance systems and include measures of PrEP need and use among key population groups to inform equitable delivery and access. These data will be published in routine sexually transmitted infection and HIV surveillance outputs in 2021.
