On Friday 9 February 2018, Australia’s Pharmaceutical Benefit Advisory Committee (PBAC) recommended pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to be listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) therefore making this game-changing tool for HIV prevention accessible across Australia.
During this week’s show, Cal and Michael speak to Australian Federation of AIDS Organisations (AFAO) CEO Darryl O’Donnell to discuss what this means across for those seeking to access HIV preventative medication across the country.
Later, they’re joined in the studio by Victoria’s Deputy Chief Health Officer, Brett Sutton, to discuss Victoria’s recent outbreak in hepatitis A and the vaccinations currently available to those populations at risk. In addition, for more info on that vaccinations program, head to: www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/timetoimmunise.
For more info on PrEP head to:
AFAO website to check out their Fact Sheet.
PrEP’d for Change and for information on access options, head to PrEP Access Now (PAN).
Furthermore, Clinicians should head to the ASHM and RACGP websites.
This show, Episode #610 originally aired Monday 12th February, 2018
