@ gni mag Tom Knight @TJ_Knight I can’t believe the #NHS are full on refusing #PrEP. Failing thousands of gay men in one stupid decision. Paul Dillane @Paul_Dillane Disappointed and angry by @NHSEngland’s decision not to roll out #PrEP? Throw your support behind #HIV organisations in your community! Last month, NHS England announced plans to reconsider their controversial decidison not to make PrEP available for at-risk men and women on the NHS. Just as we were going to press NHS England announced they would be sticking to their original decision. Responsibility to provide the treatment, health chiefs insist, falls on local authorities and not with NHS England itself. We’ve rounded up your tweets below, showing your shock and frustration at this senseless decision. #PrEPnow

TerrenceHigginsTrust @THTorguk “People who will feel the effects are the 2,500 MSM who will be needlessly infected with #HIV each year” #PrEP

Lee Dargue @leedargue Beyond appalled at the regressive headburying of @NHSEngland on #PrEP - we need to see legal advice you’ve been given #WhereisPrEP? Dylan B Jones @dylanbjones The worst thing about @NHSEngland’s decision is that if #PrEP was something that benefited straight people it’d be made available immediately. Matt Hodson @Matthew_Hodson Meeting now with other #HIV organisations to discuss @NHSEngland #PrEP decision. If nothing else this has galvanised our community action.

Prepster @TeamPrepster Again @NHSEngland washes its hands of PrEP again #NoPrEPNoPeace Jim McManus @jimmcmanusph Wholly reprehensible decision by @NHSEngland on #PrEP. Disappointing and short sighted. London Friend @lgbtfriend We’re hugely disappointed that @NHSEngland maintain they can not legally commission #PrEP C-GPO @Auriga__ If you think that #PReP shouldn’t be offered by the NHS, then quite frankly, you are wrong. Seeing so much BS tonight. Ian Green @ianrgreen NHS rejects anti-HIV treatment Prep, dismaying charities. @THTorguk now calls on @Number10gov to act.
