On March 22nd, Erick hosted a webinar on PrEP 101 to talk about how it prevents the transmission of HIV, how to access it and it’s importance for young people, especially for him.
“I was hospitalized when I was 16 for syphilis. After my experience in the hospital, I vowed to myself that I would not let a 16 year old or anyone go without knowing about STIs or HIV prevention because I didn’t want them to be in the same predicament I was in. Luckily, syphilis is curable but at the same time, I didn’t know about it, my mom didn’t know about it.
