How do I PrEP? There are many options, including a once-a-day pill, long-acting injectables, or PrEP on Demand. Choose what works for you now; you can always change your preference if your needs change or as new options become available.

Taking a daily pill for HIV prevention is a great choice for many people; while others prefer long-acting injectable PrEP, which is given by a health care professional every two months or every six months. PrEP on Demand is a good option for those who only engage in infrequent, planned s*xual encounters: You take two pills before s*x; then one pill 24 hours after the first dose, and another pill 24 hours after that (2-1-1 method).

Which choice is right for you? Talk to your health care provider about the best way for you to PrEP.

October is History Month, a great time to celebrate the Stonewall National Museum Archives & Library (SNMAL). In addition to presenting annual exhibitions, programs, workshops, and discussions, SNMAL operates one of the leading LGBTQIA+ archives in America. Located in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, SNMAL also hosts virtual programming and digital collections that can be accessed through its website: https://stonewall-museum.org/.
As the current administration attempts to erase LGBTQ+ history and SNMAL itself suffers deep federal and state funding cuts, it is especially important to support this valuable organization!

In 2006, she founded TransGriot Weekly, a pioneering blog about issues pertaining to trans women, particularly women of color.
