Have you heard about The Other Blue Pill?
No, not the one that makes folks - you know (grow). The other one that has revolutionised how people have sex. It’s been a crucial part of ending HIV and is helping people take control of their health too – PrEP
It prevents HIV by taking a pill before and after sex and is available on the NHS in the UK for free now. But not before a historic battle that many people don’t know. Meanwhile, there are questions, that need answers:
- Access to PrEP is far from universal, so what is holding us back?
- What is stopping marginalised people from getting the healthcare we all need and deserve?
- What lessons can we all learn from the fight to get it for free on the NHS?
There is a whole movement of people taking this other blue pill and taking ownership of their health. So let’s understand the history to work out: where next?
Hosted by Phil Samba, it is a QueerAF production for The Love Tank, supported by the National Aids Trust.
