Answered by Ashley Dalton
The HIV Action Plan was published in 2022 and sets out steps to reduce HIV transmission between 2019 and 2025, including the importance of HIV testing, access to pre-exposure prophylaxis, and for those who test positive, rapid access to treatment. A new HIV Action Plan will be published in 2025.
The HIV Action Plan was written to be implemented at both the national and local level. The HIV Action Plan is available at the following link:
