In January, @MattHancock committed to doubling #PrEP trial to 26,000 places.
@NHSEngland endorsed this and talks were underway with @LGAWellbeing to deliver on this.
In February, London councils ruled out doubling places while other parts of England went ahead.

During his historic speech in Parliament @lloyd_rm urged @BrineMinister to increase places on the trial.
Steve Brine also stated that the majority of PrEP places for gay and bisexual men would be gone by March 2019.

Marking one year since the trial started, we wished the #PrEP trial an unhappy 1st birthday.
Increased places had gone in many clinics, especially in London and bigger cities.
There were reports of men contracting HIV due to being unable to access PrEP.

In early 2018, demand for #PrEP began to outstrip available places for gay and bisexual men.
In July, along with a coalition of other charities and groups, we wrote to @NHSEngland & @LGAWellbeing urging for routine access to PrEP.
3,000 new places were then made available.

So how did we get into this mess with PrEP? Read our explainer 👇
Following a High Court ruling that @NHSEngland was responsible for paying for the PrEP drug, a nationwide trial was announced.
The was subject to several delays and eventually started in October 2017.

As other parts of England have agreed to double places on the PrEP trial, London councils have not followed suit.
Trial sites are full. Waiting lists are getting longer. People are contracting HIV.
This can't continue. London councils must agree to double places.

Every week 15 gay & bisexual men are diagnosed with HIV in London. Yet London councils are not doubling places on the PrEP trial as promised by @MattHancock
This is unacceptable.

We've come a long way in our understanding of HIV and a possible monthly injection for people living with HIV is welcome news.
While still some way off, this would be another step in showing that HIV is a manageable condition that does not define anyone.

Ensuring women affected by HIV are visible is crucial if we are to end HIV stigma & end HIV transmissions.
@BakitaKK shared her story with @MetroUK
"As a black woman living with HIV, my story is often left untold. This silence creates stigma"

A report by @SophiaForum & @THTorguk on experiences of #women living with #HIV found that women were often diagnosed late & there were missed opportunities to test. ow.ly/8lxi50mKyst

On #IWD2019 we're celebrating the activism of trans women living with HIV.
@BexDeHavilland shares her story about the need for greater trans inclusion.
"We’re very unseen – because of that lack of visibility, there’s very little out there to help us"

It's #IWD2019 and we are shining a light on the amazing women who work with us to show you can live well with HIV.
Women make up one-third of people living with HIV in the UK, yet remain mostly invisible in the HIV response.
That has to change. pic.twitter.com/JHsU43iG4m

This is what being a woman & living well with HIV looks like:
"Within two weeks of starting my treatment, it had suppressed the amount of HIV in my blood to ‘undetectable’ levels. And I’ve stayed undetectable ever since. I feel superhuman!" - Becky
