As part of the implementation of the HIV Action Plan, we are developing a plan to improve equitable access to human immunodeficiency (HIV) virus pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for key population groups and in settings outside of specialist sexual health services. Recommendations of the PrEP Access and Equity Task and Finish Group, including key stakeholder and delivery partners, are being considered by the HIV Action Plan Implementation Steering Group, and the plan will be made available in 2023.
