Have you heard about The Other Blue Pill?

No, not the one that makes folks - you know...

The other blue pill that revolutionised how people are having sex. The HIV gamechanger.

PrEP – Big P, little r, Big E, Big P

PrEP or Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis. A way of preventing HIV infection by taking a pill before and after sex.

You can now get it for free on the NHS in the UK - well some people can - and it was a fight and a half to get us even that.

But just how hard?

• Did you know about the court cases?
• How queer groups worked their asses off to get PrEP to people when it wasn’t available from the NHS?
• Why, even now, it can still be so hard to get hold of?

The other blue pill has been an HIV and sex game changer - but its story is far from over.

The hidden history of the other blue pill tells a crucial story about the health of the PrEP generation now.

There is a whole movement of people taking the other blue pill and taking ownership over their sexual health.

So let’s understand the pill’s history, so we can work out - where next?
