PrEP: The Revolutionary Way To Prevent HIV (2024)

In this enlightening RUclips video, join us as we explore the poignant narratives of Thandi and Michael, two individuals from vastly different corners of the world-Johannesburg, South Africa, and San Francisco, USA-connected by their common fear of HIV. Thandi, a young artist by day and a sex worker by night, along with Michael, a vibrant member of the gay community, represent the faces of those significantly at risk of HIV infection. Through their stories, we delve deep into the realities of living under the constant threat of HIV and how Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), particularly the drug Truvada, offers a beacon of hope. This video aims to educate viewers about the effectiveness of PrEP, a daily pill that significantly reduces the risk of HIV transmission when taken consistently. We also discuss global statistics from UNAIDS, the current underutilization of PrEP, and the ongoing efforts to make it more accessible to high-risk populations.
