IAFN, in conjunction with NSVRC, the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence and the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care, has released a position statement, Universal Access to Anti-HIV Medication. From the press release (PDF):
“The Association of Nurses in AIDS Care (ANAC), International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN), National Alliance to End Sexual Violence (NAESV), and National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) released a policy statement today, recommending that systems be established to ensure that survivors of sexual assault have universal access to medications to prevent HIV following rape. In too many communities, access to these medications is lacking or inconsistent.”
