Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the lack of availability of places on the PrEP impact trial disproportionately affects gay and bisexual men.

Answer

As of September 2019, over 15,000 individuals are enrolled on the PrEP Impact Trial. The trial aims to recruit up to 26,000 places and several thousand places remain open for recruitment. Of the 153 research clinics participating in the trial, 124 remain open to recruitment for men who have sex with men. Individuals interested in joining the trial can get information on their nearest recruiting clinics from the trial website which is available at the following link:

https://www.prepimpacttrial.org.uk/

The website is updated on a regular basis.

Participation in the trial is on a voluntary basis and it is for clinics and local authorities to decide the number of allocated places they can accept. Recruitment to places in the trial is managed locally by participating clinics.
