The capital is on its way to achieving zero new HIV infections if Londoners keep making safer choices, say the public health experts launching London’s new summer HIV prevention campaign. As London prepares to celebrate Pride 2019, the organisers of the latest Do It London campaign – part of the London HIV Prevention Programme run by the London boroughs – say that London is now a world leader in reducing HIV.
In a boost to HIV prevention in the capital, London boroughs have agreed to provide over 4,000 extra places on the PrEP Impact Trial. The trial – a national programme led by NHS England in partnership with Public Health England and local authorities – supplies PrEP (an HIV prevention medicine) free of charge to people considered to be at high risk of exposure to HIV.
London boroughs restate their commitment to reducing HIV in London while supporting the expansion of the ‘Impact’ PrEP Trial.
London boroughs today launch a new phase of their groundbreaking HIV prevention campaign, known as Do It London. The new Do It London campaign, which will run until early 2018, uses simple and clear imagery to inform the public of the variety of options for avoiding transmission of HIV through sexual contact, based on the latest scientific evidence on HIV prevention.
