East Sussex has become the first place in the UK to offer PrEP, which protects against infection of HIV, through remote services as part of a pilot.
NHS sexual health consultant Dr Vanessa Apea tells #R4Today that the pilot aims to 'expand access' to the drug.

This a such sad & profound loss.
@aidsmap has been a trusted source of reliable information for PWHIV for decades. It has helped so many of us navigate science, + treatment. Gave us hope, information & community.
The HIV ecosystem will be so much poorer without it

So sad to hear the news that Elizabeth Balgobin has passed away.
In the 90s she was CEO of Blackliners, the UK's first org for Black people affected by HIV.
She was a true champion of Black and brown communities and women in the darkest days of the epidemic.
Tributes paid to charity sector leader Elizabeth Balgobin – ‘a passionate advocate for social justice’ civilsociety.co.uk/news/trib…
When I interviewed her for my podcast #WeWereAlwaysHere she was warm, generous and filled many wonderful memories and so humble about her contribution. She will be missed. Condolences to her friends and family.
