PrEP is an effective method of preventing HIV that is available and can be affordable to most people who want to use it. But not everyone at risk for HIV knows about it, and many people who could benefit from PrEP believe it’s not for them.
A recent panel discussion hosted by New America Media and the San Francisco Department of Public Health explored this very issue with six representatives working in the field of HIV prevention in San Francisco.
Speaking about their work and the diverse communities they serve, the panelists shared some of the important barriers that people of color, trans women and young people face related to PrEP knowledge, access and adherence.
