The HSE reported that 6,852 people had their eligibility for free PrEP medication approved in 2023, showing a significant interest in HIV prevention.
Despite the interest, services face challenges meeting new appointment requests, with one Dublin service reporting over 1,000 individuals on its waiting list.
The Sexual Health and Crisis Pregnancy Programme acknowledges difficulties faced by individuals seeking PrEP appointments and is working to improve access.
PrEP has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection by up to 92%, highlighting its importance in public health.
