No issue personally and nothing said amongst those I know who use it.

Fake news?

"Go private. "

I get it for free, 6 month's worth at time and no issue with supplies. How much does getting it privately cost you?

It just must be the private company I get it from then. I'll try another company. The NHS sexual clinics are joke here and a complete waste of time!

Every online pharmacy I've tried today is out of stock. One with it in stock selling at a well inflated price.

Highly frustrating to say the least

I've always just bought online because I do it on demand and don't get through it very fast. But I guess it's time to do it properly and get via the clinic.

I get mine from the sexual health clinic. I didn't see any signs of a shortage.

It happens every now and again. It happened over here last year (Nov 2024) and you'd swear the concept of using a condom for a few weeks was like telling someone they were terminally ill.

I just tried pharmacies further outside the main metropolitan area until they had it. Stocks went up after a while.

Manufacturing and commercial changes were stated as the primary causes of the shortage. They just got a different brand in from America for a few months until stocks were replenished.

I personally don't trust online pharmacies with such an important medication tbh. And the pharmacy at the hospital I get tested in sells it super cheap too (Aussie government scheme). Although, I think it was free in Ireland- their view is- prevention is cheaper than treatment and all that jazz.

I gave some of mine away because I take it as needed and always have spare pill and prescriptions. Ask around if you're really desperate and people will help you out, I'm sure.

Irish healthcare policy. - it's cheaper to give out free meds than treat people for hiv forever. That's how it was in 2023 anyway unless it's changed.

Go to your gum clinic and make an appointment for prep.

They will check kidneys, ask a few questions and give you them when results come back
