PrEP Australia Announcement – 9 February – AFAO Media Release
Just before the start of the 2018 PrEP in Europe summit, the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAS), the national body that recommends drugs to be provided through the Australian National Health Service, recommended full PrEP rollout. As you may know PrEP has been available in most Australian states through a series of Demonstration Studies: but this is full and reimbursed rollout.
Don Baxter, ex-chair of the Australian Federation of AIDS Organisations and current co-chair of the Global Forum for MSM and HIV (MSM-GF) wrote this useful briefing document with the PrEP in Europe meeting in mind. We did not have time to circulate it as background literature at the time but are doing so now. See also the AFAO official press release in the link above.
