PrEP & HIV Essentials for Primary Care - Ballarat & Webinar

This informative and interactive training will aim to improve the confidence of GPs to effectively identify populations suitable for the use of PrEP and to confidently prescribe as a strategy for the prevention of HIV transmission.

Pre Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) has been proven highly effective at reducing HIV transmission and there has been an increased community demand for the prescription of PrEP.
On the 1st April 2018, PrEP was  listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). GPs are now be able to prescribe PrEP, and community pharmacies are able to dispense it. 

We encourage all GPs, nurses and any other primary care practitioners to attend.
