Queers are doing it for themselves
Description
PrEP's story is the perfect example of how we can democratise our own health - because when the NHS continued to refuse to provide the drug, grassroots activist groups found ways to get the drugs to those who needed and wanted it.
From I Want PrEP Now to PrEPster and Act Up London, a coalition of groups came together with different intersecting approaches to change the future of HIV in the UK.
In the third episode of this six-part limited series documentary about the battle for PrEP access in the UK: When the system doesn't provide, queers will. This week, we look at how grassroots groups changed the way the UK tackles HIV transmission forever.
This week, we understand the past of this HIV game-changer, so by the end of the series, you can understand the present and future of The Other Blue Pill.
