HIV, PrEP, COVID-19 & Sex - What you need to know 

The outbreak of coronavirus is changing life for many of us. We’ve been working with partners including the British HIV Association, i-Base & PrEPster, to bring you the most up-to-date advice and guidance and have pulled it all together in one place for you.

You should find all the information you need to know here.  You can phone the HIV Scotland Coronavirus Helpline between 10am – 6pm, Monday to Friday on 0131 558 3713 if you have any more questions. You can support our unprecedented work with people living HIV who are affected by coronavirus by donating to our Coronavirus Support Fund.
