The British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) United Kingdom national guideline on the sexual health care of men who have sex with men (MSM) was published in electronic format in this journal in 2018. In common with other BASHH guidelines, the document fulfils the dual role of scrutinising and evaluating the available evidence according to the accredited Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology, as well as the often more challenging job of codifying and summarising expert opinion in areas where the evidence base is incomplete or lacking. In addition to the learning gained from developing the recommendations included in the final document, further benefit was derived from the process through a number of learning and development actions for the writing group and through this the MSM special interest group and the wider sexual health community.

In the US, gay, bisexual, and other sexual minoritized men (GBSMM) remain disproportionately impacted by HIV, and continue to experience unmet needs for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). A growing body of literature has underscored the need to consider the geographic factors of HIV prevention, particularly beyond administrative boundaries and towards localized spaces that influence the accessibility and utilization of health-promoting resources. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the associations of driving times from activity spaces to PrEP offering facilities and individual PrEP uptake.
