FIJI IS EXPANDING ACCESS TO PRE-EXPOSURE PROHYLAXIS (PrEP) WITH UNDAIDS SUPPORT.

Fiji has officially begun community-based PrEP delivery, marking a significant step in strengthening HIV prevention, reducing new infections, and expanding access to stigma-free healthcare services across the country.

A pilot outreach was conducted in Suva combining:
HIV education
PrEP awareness
HIV and STI testing

The Ministry of Health & Medical Services - Fiji informed that the rollout simplifies access pathways and addresses structural barriers that have limited HIV prevention services.

When PrEP medication is taken correctly, it can reduce the risk of sexually acquired HIV by approximately 99%.

"I raised concerns regarding the growing public perception of corruption within the Force, the loss of police investigation files and exhibits, the increasing number of Internal Affairs cases involving police officers, and the worrying trend of high-profile criminal and illicit drug cases being dismissed or resulting in acquittals.
