PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is like a shield that you can take daily to prevent HIV. It helps to block the virus from taking hold if you're exposed to it. When taken as prescribed, PrEP is highly effective and reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99%.

With unity, compassion, and inclusivity, we can make our goals of ending AIDS a reality. Let's follow David Furnish's inspiring words and ensure that no one is left behind.
