Some 38 million people globally are living with HIV, with 1.7 million newly infected in 2018, according to UNAIDS., with thousands buying it online without medical supervision, says HIV campaigners.

“We have a technology that is cheap, accessible, is effective and is cost-effective, yet we’re still being denied full roll-out of this drug,” said Nutland, who is also a doctor. The number of places on England’s National Health Service trial in January was more than doubled to 26 000 from 10 000 due to soaring demand, but no date has been set for a potential national roll-out.

Some people are also buying PrEP informally through friends and contacts, while a private doctor’s prescription costs about $482 a month, according to PrEPster.
