PrEP: a community perspective (November 2014)

6 November 2014. Related: General.

By: Simon Collins.

Talk about PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) from the HIV Conference in Glasgow.

The talk looks at the history of PrEP and a few myths.

Although optimal use will be in situations where HIV risk is high, PrEP – just like TasP (Treatment as Prevention) – may help reduce stigma against HIV.

It may also help improve quality of life by reducing fear and anxiety about HIV.
