   NHS England is consulting on the provision of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV; the consultation ends next Friday (23 September 2016).

   The team at United for PrEP, a collection of HIV/AIDS charities and service organisations, put together a response guide to help people reply to the consultation. My answers below are heavily based on their guide; you can provide your own response using their online form.
