What is the PROTECT Survey?
This online survey is running across Europe and seeks to uncover who may benefit from the innovation that is long acting injectable PrEP. The European Commission (EC) has authorised Apretude (cabotegravir long-acting [LA] injectable and tablets) for HIV prevention. The availability of cabotegravir LA for PrEP will differ from country to country across the EU. It is important for health services and policy makers to understand who may be interested in taking long acting injectable PrEP so that resources can be most effectively allocated. The PROTECT survey is for people from the following groups:
Men who have s*x with men
Trans* people
Heteros*xual people
People living with HIV
