Picking up your HIV medications is easier, faster and more convenient than ever!
In late 2015, over 57% of people living with HIV (PLHIV) in NSW said you planned to use a community pharmacy and today 29% are using their local chemist to get their HIV medications. This is a great move and led to increased convenience and control over medication access. Now we’re asking how we can support more of you to do just that!
