Information on the reasons why SHINE sexual health services are not open for gay and bisexual men on the pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) impact trial is not collected centrally.

PrEP is provided by the National Health Service 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 whether they wish to take part.
