 HIV advocates and health organisations are outraged the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) has rejected submissions to add Truvada as use for PrEP to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS).

Tonight we talk with Mark Stoove from the Burnet Institute about this decision and the path ahead.

Later we talk with Jax Jacki Brown, disability & LGBTI rights activist, writer, spoken-word performer, public speaker, workshop facilitator and disability sexualities educator. She will be appearing at the Melbourne Writers Festival at a session called Feminism Online Sunday 28th August 5.30pm.
