Secondly, to place all those diagnosed with HIV on treatment immediately and to bring their viral load down to undetectable levels. This ensures they cannot pass the virus on to anyone else.

Thirdly, there has been an increase in the number of people taking PrEP. However, PrEP is still not available to all who want it via the UK’s National Health Service. Around 16,000 high-risk individuals are enrolled in a three-year trial to establish the cost-efficiency of the drugs."
