Australia has been experiencing a PrEP shortage, with essential HIV prevention medicine in very low stock in pharmacies across the country. Tim is in the drivers seat, with Michael wearing his community advocacy hat to share what has been going on with PrEP, why we have such low stock, and different ways to buy PrEP to keep protected – and some other tips and tricks for navigating the PrEP shortage.
