Travel vaccines sorted? Suitcase packed? PrEP prevents HIV, but it works best as part of a wider approach to sexual health, alongside: ▶️ Condoms ▶️ Vaccinations ▶️ Regular HIV and STI testing This summer, we’re encouraging people to “layer up” their protection and prevent HIV.

bhaforequality.bsky.social @bhaforequality.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
PrEP is for anyone who wants to reduce their risk of HIV, regardless of gender, sexuality, ethnicity or relationship status. Stigma stops many people from accessing PrEP, even when it could benefit them. Everyone deserves clear and inclusive information about their sexual health options.

Summer plans can mean new places, new people, more spontaneity. PrEP helps prevent HIV and can be part of a simple summer sexual health checklist: ✔ Test before ✔ Start PrEP if it’s right for you ✔ Use condoms ✔ Get tested again afterwards

Heading abroad, to a festival, or away for the summer? PrEP helps protect against HIV before exposure - which is especially important when travelling, as emergency HIV medication (PEP) isn’t always easy to access in other countries.

bhaforequality.bsky.social @bhaforequality.bsky.social · 22/06/2026
Summer plans? Make PrEP a part of your packing list PrEP (pre‑exposure prophylaxis) is a medication that prevents HIV before exposure. When taken correctly, it’s highly effective and gives people more choice and control over their sexual health.

Men’s Health Week: Let’s talk about essentials and prevention... Talking about sexual health doesn’t have to be awkward, it can be empowering. Ask a friend today: “Did you know condoms are one of the safest ways to prevent STIs?” … prevention can be fun too.
