Lets Talk About PrEP

Let's Talk About PrEP – Season 2, Episode 1: Reimagining HIV Prevention with Prof. Linda-Gail Bekker

Season 2 of Let's Talk About PrEP begins with one of the world's leading voices in HIV science and prevention, Prof. Linda-Gail Bekker.

In this premiere episode, we explore how HIV prevention is entering a transformative new era. From long-acting PrEP and the promise of lenacapavir to persistent inequities in access, policy, and funding, Prof. Bekker shares her perspective on what it will take to ensure that scientific breakthroughs reach the communities that need them most.

In this episode, we sit down with public health advocate and writer Jason Watler to talk all things PrEP use—what’s working, what’s not, and how we can reimagine HIV prevention through the lens of community, equity, and care. Jason unpacks barriers to access, the importance of culturally grounded messaging, and why collective care is key to increasing PrEP uptake among Black queer people.

This is a must-listen for anyone thinking about how we make PrEP work for us—with dignity, agency, and truth at the center.

In this episode, we sit down with writer, strategist, and long-time health justice advocate Kenyon Farrow for a raw and liberating conversation on Black gay health, sex, pleasure, and the politics of PrEP. Kenyon dives into what it means to center sex positivity in HIV prevention, why pleasure must be part of the conversation, and how we can build systems that actually care for us — not control us.

If you’ve ever wanted to hear real talk about health, community, and liberation — this episode is for you. Tune in and let’s talk about PrEP.
