Could the PrEP drug help eliminate HIV?
Almost 1,900 people have been prescribed a drug which dramatically reduces the chances of being infected with HIV, new figures have shown.
Scotland was the first part of the UK to make PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) available on the NHS in July 2017.
A report from NHS National Services Scotland said uptake of the drug had "exceeded predictions".
It said this was partly because many users had never visited a sexual health clinic before.
The Nine's Edinburgh reporter Carole Erskine met Jordan, Dex, and Dave who are in a polyamorous open relationship. Jordan takes PrEP.
