EP 14 - What do health professionals need to know about PrEP?

Sydney Sexual Health Centre

Welcome to the newest episode of the new Sydney Sexual Health Centre podcast! PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, was listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) in Australia in April 2018. This is a big step that has the potential to move PrEP prescribing out of specialist sexual health clinics and into primary care settings, making it more widely available to more people who need it. But we're only a few months in and many people may have questions and concerns. So we're asking: what do health professionals need to know about PrEP? This episode features Sydney Sexual Health Centre's own Dr Rick Varma and Dr Mark Bloch from ASHM.
