Put the power in your hands

TEDx Talks - "Dr Nneka Nwokolo shared with the TEDxEuston community her wish to prevent African women from getting HIV needlessly. As a HIV consultant, she has witnessed in her practice how a ground-breaking pill called PrEP can help stop the spread of HIV amongst African women in addition to the traditional preventative methods such as condoms. This is a game changer that put’s choice and power into the hands of women who are at risk of getting HIV on the continent and its diaspora.

Dr Nneka Nwokolo is a consultant physician in Sexual Health and HIV Medicine at 56 Dean Street, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. Her interests include the sexual and reproductive health of women as well as interventions to reduce HIV transmission. She established the first HIV PrEP clinic in the UK and was part of a collaboration between community PrEP activists and clinicians that contributed to a 40% reduction in new HIV infections in London."
