HIV Prevention England have a new briefing paper on PrEP and women available to download. Produced by NAM aidsmap, this briefing provides an overview of PrEP use for cisgender women. It reviews relevant guidance and research relating to types of PrEP, if/how PrEP affects contraception, menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause, and the barriers to PrEP use among women.
‘PrEP is an effective tool for HIV prevention, but it’s underused by women in the UK. Even though cisgender women make up a quarter of new HIV diagnoses, only 2.8% of PrEP users in England are women.
This briefing is about how well PrEP works for cisgender women.’
