On 30 January, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care announced that the Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Impact trial would be expanded to 26,000 people. Work is underway with partners to take this forward. The PrEP Oversight Board has requested information on local capacity to make the additional places available, and will review this later in February. The Secretary of State also announced the Government’s commitment to ending new HIV transmissions in England by 2030. To support this work, an expert group will be established to develop an action plan over the course of this year. The important role of PrEP, as part of combination HIV prevention efforts, will be considered as part of this process.
