Health Service Executive (HSE) cut the budgets for Gay Men's Health Service, Ireland's busiest sexual health clinic and new cases of HIV in Gay/Bi men soared. Are we surprised? -

The Gay Men's Health Service (GMHS) on Baggot Street in Dublin provides sexual healthcare services for gay and bisexual men and trans people. In the last ten years—as new diagnoses of HIV and other STIs among gay and bisexual men have climbed dramatically—the HSE has slashed the budget for GMHS.

Regular testing and treatment is one of the most effective ways to bring rates of STIs down. But there's no use telling people to go for testing if they can't get access to the services they need. Overcrowding and long waits are the norm—and that's if you're lucky enough to not be turned away at the door.

Despite the massive budget cuts, despite the challenges of working in a neglected and run-down building, the GMHS has done its best to meet the growing needs of the community. In 2016 they added a new Monday afternoon screening clinic and, last November, a Thursday-morning PrEP support clinic.

These are important steps in the right direction, but we need to let the Government and the HSE know how important these services are to the community. We need to see a commitment to increase funding, to expand available services, and to improve the condition of the clinic facilities.

We urge you to write to Minister for Health Simon Harris at [email protected] and Assistant National Director of Health Promotion Kevin Kelleher at [email protected].

Let them know that needs proper funding and support. Let them know that we won't stand for further neglect of this vital service. We deserve better, deserves better.

Many of you may have seen this tweet or the report about it in the Irish Times. We wanted to clarify a few important things:

• Teva (a generic pharmaceutical company) will begin selling their PrEP product on Monday. It's expected to cost around €100 for a 30-day supply.

• This does not mean PrEP will be available through HSE.

• This has nothing to do with anything the Taoiseach has done, nor with the Department of Health or the HSE.

We're frankly dismayed that this brief, misleading tweet appears to be the Taoiseach's only statement on World AIDS Day.

Yes, technically Teva's PrEP will be available in Ireland on Monday—for those who can pay €100+ a month.

But is that what most people understand when they see "PrEP will be available in Ireland"? Without any further tweets to clarify how limited the availability will be?

What a cynical way to mark World AIDS Day.

Love and Suppression, a short film about the remarkable impact of HIV treatment on people’s lives.

Love & Suppression tells the story of how learning about the powerful prevention impact of HIV treatment has changed the lives of an Irish couple. Robbie and Maurice explain how they, as participants in the landmark PARTNER study, are living proof that a person living with HIV on effective treatment cannot pass on HIV to their sexual partner.
