指定醫院

Pharmacists play a crucial role in HIV prevention by providing counseling on PEP and PrEP. Each designated hospital is required to have at least one pharmacist who specializes in HIV and stays informed about the latest HIV treatments and research.
在台灣，藥師提供愛滋病毒暴露前及暴露後的預防性投藥諮詢，扮演協助愛滋防治的重要角色。每間指定醫院應配有至少一名HIV專任藥師，且每年應接受持續教育以瞭解最新的治療及研究。
