A Health technology assessment of a PrEP programme for populations at substantial risk of
sexual acquisition of HIV was made public today.

We must keep the pressure on our Government to make this a reality.

Please take part in the consultation process over the next four weeks, have your say and act now to make sure we have a PrEP Programme in Ireland.

GHF2019 Keynote Speakers

Bruce Richman, Executive Director of Prevention Access Campaign's U=U Movement.
Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U) is a growing international movement that shares the revolutionary but largely unknown fact that people living with HIV on treatment with an undetectable viral load cannot transmit HIV to sexual partners. Bruce will share why it's important for us to accept the science and embrace the movement.

Nathan Sparling, Chief Executive of HIV Scotland.
An organisation that fought for PrEP to be made free on the Scottish NHS. He'll reflect on almost two years of PrEP access - full and free in Scotland - and what that means for getting to zero.

Rusi Jaspal, Professor of Psychology and Sexual Health at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK.
Prof. Jaspal is a leading academic voice in encouraging the enhancement of sexual healthcare for men who have sex with men. He will give us insight into the lives, narratives and identities of our community members and how this impacts good sexual health and wellbeing.
