PrEPare.LA

PrEPare.LA, PrEParate.LA, and the PrEPducator social media profiles are extensions of JWCH Institute, Inc.’s (JWCH) PrEP Education Program.

JWCH’s PrEP Education Program aims to improve awareness and access of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) throughout Los Angeles, particularly among those most vulnerable to HIV—including young gay and bisexual African-American and Latino Men and transgender women of color, especially individuals patronizing commercial sex venues or having sex without condoms. There is also particular focus on empowering individuals who might not normally have access to insurance or health care, including those who are undocumented.

JWCH’s PrEP Educator (PrEPducator) provides PrEP, HIV, and sexual health awareness education through workshops, one on one interactions, and via social media outreach across Los Angeles. The PrEPducator also assists individuals navigate the health care system with the goal to empower patients to advocate for their own health and wellness.
