The Department has not had discussions with health professionals to ensure that gay and bisexual men in Peterborough have access to places on the pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) Impact Trial.

PrEP is currently provided in England through the three-year PrEP Impact Trial. 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. The PrEP Impact Trial website includes a map showing the distribution of the 154 clinics level 3 Sexual Health Services participating in the trial at the following link:
