Improving delivery of HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis among key populations in England

Imperial College London and the Youth Involvement and Engagement Lab would like to invite you to a World AIDS Day seminar to discuss the results of a groundbreaking study that investigated the factors influencing access to HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) among Black women in England.

Despite advancements in HIV prevention, disparities persist in PrEP awareness and accessibility within this community. This event aims to shed light on the systemic, social, and personal barriers that affect Black women’s access and uptake of PrEP, providing valuable learnings for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and community advocates. More specifically, we will uncover and discuss the importance of involving Black women in the decision-making process to design and pilot interventions that aim to address the barriers to PrEP access.

What to Expect:

• In-Depth Findings: Explore the key barriers identified in the study, including healthcare accessibility, cultural perceptions, stigma, and informational gaps.
• Actionable Strategies: Learn about recommendations to enhance PrEP access and awareness among Black women.
• Interactive Q&A Session: Engage with the researchers and study participants during a live question-and-answer segment.

Who Should Attend:

• Members of the public interested in HIV prevention and health equity
• Community leaders and activists
• Public health officials and policymakers
• Healthcare providers and professionals
• Researchers and academics in health and social sciences
