Cardi B encouraged fans to take PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), a medication to prevent HIV risk from sex and injections, saying it isn’t just for gay men. “I understand where the stigma came from and everything. HIV is really, like, high in the gay community. But why you think these bitches don’t be having that shit?” she said. “Y’all bitches needa take that shit too. This shit for everybody.”
In a related story, a new HIV protection drug has been approved in England and Wales. This drug, cabotegravir (CAB-LA), is an injection and “represents hope” for those who are unable to take other methods of HIV protection such as PrEP.
