About

You're Invited!

PrEP Awareness Week (PAW) is a citywide effort to get more people talking about PrEP, a pill or shot that can help prevent HIV.

While PrEP has been available for more than 14 years, we hear from community and healthcare providers consistently that we need to talk about PrEP more.

That’s what PrEP Awareness Week is all about. Starting conversations, sharing trusted information, and helping more people connect with PrEP. We invite you to partner with us!
