Why doesn't the Ministry of Health make PREP available to the public, like how it is in Australia and New Zealand? Sexual activity will continue to happen as it is an eternal truth of life that is based on our biology and instincts. The least government can do is make PREP readily accessible to the public for a real impactful mitigating factor to the rise in cases.
Thank you for raising this important point. The availability of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is indeed a significant public health tool for preventing HIV transmission, and its accessibility has proven effective in countries like Australia and New Zealand. While I cannot speak directly on behalf of the Ministry of Health, increasing access to PrEP involves addressing several factors, such as funding, public health policies, and awareness campaigns. It’s also crucial to ensure that PrEP is introduced alongside comprehensive education about its use and continued safe practices. Your suggestion highlights the need for open dialogue and collaboration between health authorities, communities, and stakeholders to implement impactful solutions. I encourage you and others to continue advocating for these initiatives, as community voices are vital in shaping policies that meet the needs of the public.
In March of this year. I happened to have a conversation with a professor whom i met at the far corner of Vanua Levu in Sau Bay. She was currently working for the US embassy. Collecting data for the Univeristy of San Francisco on sexually transmitted infection. I asked her the question: Where are you concentrating your data collection. Respond: Around Suva area. What are the result of this data collection: Respond: Fiji will have a HIV outbreak in the next few "Weeks"...she didnt say months when we spoke in March. Well.....9 months later....Makes we wonder too...why University of San Francisco/US is interested in this data...Hmmmmm
Thank you for sharing your encounter and insights-it’s always interesting to hear about firsthand experiences like yours. The issue of HIV in Fiji is indeed a serious one that requires attention and action. Data collection, whether done by local or international organizations, helps to shed light on the current situation and guide interventions to prevent outbreaks and support those affected. As for your observation about the timing and focus of the study, it’s important to remain curious but also to rely on verified information. HIV awareness, education, and proactive measures are key to protecting ourselves and our communities. Let’s use platforms like this to encourage open dialogue, share accurate information, and promote prevention efforts in Fiji. Every step counts in the fight against HIV. 🌺
