The PrEP Impact Trial has been announced to start in September.

Why has it taken so long?

Plans have been delayed for many reasons, including developing the infrastructure for making PrEP available, training medical professionals, and identifying who is eligible to have PrEP in England.

What does this mean?

With NHS England using generic versions of PrEP, Gilead, the manufacturer of Truvada, is under pressure to match the price of generics. With the trial underway, the NHS can look at taking PrEP beyond a trial and creating wider UK access. Wales, Scotland and England are making progress with PrEP, but other parts of the British Isles are likely to progress slower. One strength of having the trial in action means that results can be collected on its effectiveness against HIV, and how cost-effective it is for the NHS. The argument for PrEP on the NHS is much stronger, with figures and results to back it up.

How can I participate in the trial?

If you’d like to participate in the PrEP Impact Trial and are based in mainland England, visit your local GUM clinic from September. If you’re outside mainland England, visit PrEPWatch to see what is happening for you locally, and how to demand PrEP in your area.

Porn4PrEP had its own room: a portal into being a newbie to the porn industry. We had three performers: Jason Domino as a porn actor experiencing electro play, Tegwyn teaching guests how to use tools like the violet wand, and Jason Moon filming and directing the ‘scene’.

During our exhibit, guests had a conversation with the performers about what it’s like to start off in the porn industry. The focus was on sexual health and protection, allowing guests to learn in an experiential format. At the end of the performance, guests were sent to the next room of the house and told to ‘prepare for their own scene’.
When initially asked by Love Matters, it struck us as sex through the lens of poetry and art, rather than the reality that people experience. We suggested running an explicit scene to keep the focus on sex, but the original venue took issue with the idea. This shows that censorship can obstruct transparent conversation about sex, even in an exhibition dedicated to the topic. Love Matters found a new venue, and changed the scene to electro play, allowing guests to be more involved without the need to show something as explicit.

Brighton Sexpression Conference 2016 ended with a chance for the participants to ask any questions they had about PrEP. Jason Domino was accompanied by Greg Owen and Dr Will Nutland. Together they addressed questions ranging from strategy planning to the social impact of making medication like PrEP available.

The conference ran over two days and had a number of in-depth lectures on sexual topics in today’s society. Importantly, stigma towards people living with HIV was explored and the phrase “Undetectable means Uninfectious” was echoed. They are powerful words that dispel fears for HIV negative people; fears that they could catch HIV from a correctly-medicated person living with HIV on anti-retroviral therapy.

“Undetectable” refers to a medical state that someone living with HIV can reach. It’s a state where a person’s viral load is too small for modern equipment to detect. Modern viral counting machines can pick up on a viral load as low as 20 in someones blood. By comparison, a viral load of 500 is needed before an infection can be transmitted from anal sex. 1,000 needed for transmission via vaginal sex. It is also worth pointing out that there are no validated cases of people catching HIV from oral sex. There has however always been a theorised risk if the person’s mouth has some internal damage or a localised infection.
