The PrEP Necklace was inspired by a class of revolutionary medications developed to diminish the likelihood of HIV infection. When taken as directed, an antiviral like PrEP can significantly lower risk of HIV infection as part of a sexual wellness plan.
Some feel that because the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s disproportionately affected the LGBTQ+ community, medical research into treatment and prevention wasn’t prioritized resulting in millions of infections and hundreds of thousands of deaths, especially in young minority communities.
In recent years, there has been considerable advancement in HIV and AIDs treatment, and access to antivirals like PrEP has improved considerably with clinics and LGBTQ+ community centers offering health services, however the social stigma associated with HIV and AIDs endures.
Eradicating social stigma through design is a simple way to push the needle towards a more socially just world, and a portion of proceeds benefits Immigration Equality, a nonprofit who provides free legal council to those LGBTQ+ asylum seekers.
