KC Ortiz:
“This song is about conversation – we need to talk about PrEP and HIV in our community. When we talk to our partners and our loved ones about sexual health, we are eliminating stigma. Let’s talk about sex. Let’s talk about HIV. Let’s talk about PrEP.”
Erik Roldan (Director of Communications for Howard Brown Health):
“Let’s Talk about PrEP’ is both a celebration and a call to action – we are on the precipice of an HIV-free generation, and PrEP is one of the tools we need to get us there. However, we must continue to increase PrEP access among communities who need it, particularly people of color on the south side of Chicago.”
