I feel like it will keep you safe from HIV, but it won’t keep you safe from everything else. So I think always understanding that is definitely important. Because I also think that misinformation is something that could happen a lot… It’s not a miracle drug; it’s not going to solve all your problems. (Latina, age 21, 44 months on PrEP)

Of course with any drug, there’s side effects, but you have to educate people in a way that it’s presented to them that even though there are side effects, the benefits outweigh those. (Black, age 27, 0.75 months PrEP)

I feel like there’s still not enough information out there in all areas for PrEP. Because I come on this side of town and you see stuff, but over in the hood where I live, they’re not getting that information. So I think there needs to be areas that are strategically picked to kind of penetrate that information in, so that way, they can saturate it and get it and be more mindful of it.

Meet them where they’re at. If they’re on the boulevard [sex work stroll], get someone out there with PrEP information and have that conversation wherever and however you can do it. Do some party or fashion show and invite them, and allow them to be centered and feel glamorous. But at the same time, educated and informed. (Black, age 48, 2.5 months on PrEP)

A lot of Black trannies are homeless, on the street, drug addicts, prostitutes or whatever – not all of them, but a majority of them. The only places that I can see that they really would have a chance of getting the information… would probably just be places like this [research clinics] because a lot of them do studies and go to clinics and stuff like that even if they choose to or not to take the medication or whatever.
