So, what is PEP Talk?  

I’m so glad you asked! PEP Talk is an open conversation. PEP Talk is an inclusive, informative, and inviting event curated to educate those who may not know their HIV status, who through language and cultural barriers are unable to know their status, or those who want to connect with their local community through personal experience and hardships. 
Borrow one of our 10 beautiful books who are fighting the HIV stigma in their lives and communities. Listen and learn, swap stories, and meet others who may offer guidance and support.
