ARE YOU PrEP PAIRED!?

Pairing a daily oral Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) pill with latex condom use can effectively prevent you from getting HIV and STDs.

Congrats to the Project WOW team on their very own PrEP campaign - "Are you PrEP PAIRED?"  This was a completely peer-led initiative with the LGBTQ youth from PWOW. From concept, photography, models, design, event coordination, and web site design! Amazing team work by all.
