PrEP: Where are we now?

In partnership with Community-Based Research Centre

Since Health Canada's 2016 approval of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), this tool has proven to be an important advancement in prevention. Although it is highly effective, it is still underused by and underpromoted to the populations that could benefit most, including Two-Spirit, trans and non-binary people, Black, Indigenous and racialized men who have sex with men, and gay and bisexual men who use drugs or live in remote and rural communities.

Part one, “PrEP: Where Are We Now?”, will take a look at current PrEP options and regimens, barriers to access and gaps in HIV prevention work due to intersectional and systemic discrimination. Community leaders and academics from key underserved populations will share their perspectives on PrEP perceptions, access and uptake within their communities, which are currently experiencing higher rates of HIV an Moderator: Mik Vattiata, “The Future of PrEP is Now” Project Coordinator, Community-Based Research Centre
