Last week, we enjoyed an evening filled with great food, lively music, and powerful speeches highlighting the ongoing need for support in the HIV community.
(2/2) Taking PrEP inconsistently leads to a reduction of medicine in the bloodstream and tissues that block HIV from spreading.
That’s why it’s important for you to do your due diligence in your HIV care.
(1/2) While PrEP is capable of reducing the risk of HIV from sex by 99% (and at least 74% by people who inject drugs), it must be taken consistently and as prescribed for it to be most effective.
Thank you to our incredible community for coming out to make this a wonderful evening!
And a special thank you to our fabulous event committee – we could not have done this without their support.
What a night in Palm Springs! 🌴✨ Our hearts are still full from ETAF’s first-ever Palm Springs Dinner—a celebration of hope, progress, and the unstoppable legacy of Elizabeth Taylor.

We can’t wait to enjoy a night filled with great food, music, and conversation in support of those at risk or living with HIV.
