QueerAF | Inspiring LGBTQIA+ stories told by emerging queer creatives

I've been on PrEP over over 7 years. This is what I've learned

"I’ve been taking PrEP for almost 7 years now. During that time, I’ve been crazy enthusiastic about making positive changes to reduce health inequalities. But I have seen how queer health has been mishandled time and time again."


So today Phil Samba is here to help us all discover the untold story behind PrEP, the revolutionary pill that's transforming HIV prevention and sexual health.


In the first episode of our new six-part limited series documentary, we dive into the battle for PrEP access in the UK by not only looking at the court case fought here in England for the drug - but the advent of HIV and AIDS in the 80s.


Did you know we knew PrEP was effective from the early 2000s? Why did it take until 2020 to get it on the NHS you ask?


Join host Phil Samba as he uncovers the legal struggles, the historic activism, and the groundbreaking moments that made PrEP a reality. From the early days of HIV awareness to the modern fight for equitable healthcare, this is the compelling journey of The Other Blue Pill.


This week, we understand the past of this HIV game-changer, so in the first episode of a series about the the present, and future of The Other Blue Pill.


Hosted by Phil Samba, it is a QueerAF production for The Love Tank, supported by National Aids Trust.
