HIV medication
You can choose between the following options for receiving your HIV medication:
- having your medication delivered to your home or another convenient address
- having your medication delivered to a local Boots store for you to collect
- collecting your medication from the hospital pharmacy here at Homerton (you can wait to collect it the same day, or return within two weeks)
If you are running out of medication please let us know as soon as possible
It is important that you take HIV treatment daily and without interruption to make sure it remains effective.
You can request an emergency supply of your HIV treatment by calling the JMC directly. This can sometimes take two days to arrange.
HSHS is now offering Injectable PreP
Cabotegravir is a long acting injectable medication for HIV prevention, available for people who are unable to take oral PrEP for a range of reasons including adherence challenges or intolerance.

Clinic letters and your care at the JMC - October 2026 update
Many of you have chosen to have letters sent to your GP summarising your HIV treatment and recent blood tests. This helps ensure your care is coordinated and safe. We usually send a letter to the GP after your appointment with a doctor.
What is changing?
The way we send letters is moving from one EPR (electronic patient record), a system specifically for HIV care called Inform, to the main hospital EPR called Powerchart. We have been using Powerchart for your blood tests, scans and appointments since 2017, so this is just one more function we will use it for. We will still send a letter to your GP after every doctor’s appointment, as usual.
Why is this change happening?
Electronic letters are more secure than paper letters. The new system is more efficient, meaning faster and more reliable communication between hospital doctors and GPs. There is also an advantage if you are having care with more than one specialist service. For instance, if you have a kidney or heart doctor, they will now be able to see your latest HIV clinic letter and have the most up-to-date information about your treatment. Hospital doctors only within the North East London network will be able to see these letters.
What difference will I notice?
You may not notice any difference. It is possible that your GP may add our clinic letters your NHS App, on ‘Patient Knows Best’ (PKB), but only you will be able to see these on PKB. If you choose to, we can send our letters directly to your PKB. Other services, such as the Emergency Department and Outpatients already do this. We will not be sending letters to your PKB unless you ask us to.
What about confidentiality?
Your confidentiality will be maintained. Only medical professionals within the NE London GP and hospital network will be able to access your medical records, and only if they are providing care to you. The law and NHS guidance about accessing healthcare records is strict.
What choices do I have?
If you do not want us to write to your GP, you still have this choice. A small number of patients have chosen for us not to write to their GP, and we will respect that choice.
How do I find out more about the NHS App and Patient Knows Best (PKB)?
