When did PrEP get covered by the government in Ontario?
2017!
An important victory for HIV prevention in this province, PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) will now be covered by the Ontario government!
This is a great achievement by activists, AIDS service organizations, providers and allies in the fight against new HIV infections in this province. Pictured below is a demonstration by "Allies Against Stigma", organized by www.medsexpert.ca, who marched up to the Ontario legislature (Queens Park) on September 10th during the AIDS Walk Toronto to demand the Ontario government help at-risk individuals access this medication. I congratulate our group and all those who worked tirelessly for this effort.
