PrEP as a Memory Pill

Community, Health, HIV, Men's Health, MPOX, PrEP, Sexual Health

Cal and Joel chat to Benjamin Riley from ASHM about his Master’s thesis: ‘PrEP as a Memory Pill, Gay Men and Generational Imaginaries.’

Ben’s research focused on how PrEP created sexual freedom for a generation of men who had been living under the threat of HIV.

Ben explores the unique perspectives of this group and discusses the differences between gay men who lived pre and post HIV.
