Description
Alan Yeung and nine co-authors measure seven years of Scotland's HIV prevention pill program, in a 2026 study. The program offers preventive medicine, called PrEP, through sexual health services. The study group was gay and bisexual men attending those services.
Coverage rose from 21 percent to 45 percent across the program's life. New HIV infections fell from 4.46 to 1.66 per thousand person years before leveling off. Men currently prescribed PrEP had far lower risk than never users. Risk was highest in men whose prescriptions had lapsed over a year. The authors urge better support for staying on the program.
