To provide the public with unbiased, open education on pre-exposure prophylaxis – or “PrEP,” a controversial medication aimed at preventing HIV infection before high-risk encounters – Impulse hosted a short film screening and panel discussion at the famed Hollywood Improv on November 9, 2013.
The event featured a diverse panel that included medical experts David Hardy, MD of UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine and Michael Wohlfeiler, MD of AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) alongside social commentator Aaron Laxton, who blogs for TheBody.com, and Michael Weinstein, president and founder of the global nonprofit AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which provides treatment, testing, and advocacy in 32 countries worldwide in addition to being the largest provider of HIV/AIDS care in the United States.
