A new National Strategic Plan (NSP) to address HIV was launched yesterday and Health Minister Dr Frank Anthony announced that a more comprehensive Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) programme would be rolled out this year.
The NSP is expected to keep Guyana in line with global efforts focused on ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic by 2030 and is also expected to build and improve the country’s response to the epidemic.
Anthony, during the virtual launch of the new NSP, stated that during this year, the public can expect to see the rollout of a more comprehensive PrEP programme.
