Researchers at La Trobe University would love to hear from you for a new study on your experiences of discontinuing, pausing or restarting oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
Who is eligible?
You can take part if you:
- Have regularly used PrEP, now or in the past (including regular on-demand use)
