Sharon
Hodgson MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Public Health, reacting to the
announcement that NHS England’s PrEP Implementation Trial will begin on 1
September, said:
“The
start of the PrEP trial is welcome and long overdue after months of delays and
heel-dragging by the Government.
“The
evidence shows just how transformative this drug can be as part of our approach
to HIV prevention and ending the transmission of this life-changing infection.
This trial will take us one step closer to fully understanding the benefits of
PrEP.
“Now
it is important that this trial is rolled out as quickly as possible across the
country to protect individuals who are exposed to HIV and help take us one step
closer to ending the spread of HIV in society.”
