English Speaking Participant I think African immigrant women don’t really advocate for themselves. And not that they don’t but in a lot of cases we don’t talk, we don’t share our opinion, we don’t advocate for ourselves in relationship. And yeah, we learned a lot of things about it. “PrEP. I had never heard of it before. [the facilitator] did a good job answering all of my PrEP questions. It is helpful to learn that there are so many ways to protect myself now. Back home, HIV was so much scarier because you thought you were helpless against it, but now with this information, I know that you can live with HIV and can also protect yourself from it in many ways.”
French Speaking Participant “Honestly, it’s a good program. I really liked it because it allowed me to learn things that I didn’t know. The goal of the program was to make us aware of HIV, but we learned more than that. It’s a really good program that’s not just based on HIV, it brings everything together because we learned a lot. I really liked it.” “No, the pill [PrEP] was new. I didn’t know about it.”
