To reach zero HIV transmissions by 2030, equitable access to #HIV PrEP is essential. England’s first fully digital HIV #PrEP pathway in East Sussex is a major step forward. @vanessa_apea talks about the need for our new service in this @HSJnews article: hsj.co.uk/policy-and-regulat…

East Sussex has become the first place in the UK to offer PrEP, which protects against infection of HIV, through remote services as part of a pilot.
NHS sexual health consultant Dr Vanessa Apea tells #R4Today that the pilot aims to 'expand access' to the drug.

Last Saturday, we joined our @SHLdotUK colleagues as part of the #PrideinLondon parade.
We were met with such gratitude for SHL and the work we do. It’s humbling to see how our work impacts the lives of so many people, and to show our support for the LGBTQ community. #Pride2024

We’re delighted that sustainability is on the agenda for #BASHH2024
We’ve been working to make our own services more sustainable.
Today, we’ll be talking about our own experience of making changes to our online testing services to save over 10 tonnes of plastic waste a year.

The barriers to accessing PrEP include stigma, discrimination, racism, difficulties talking about sex. Can online services resolve some of these issues?
