PrEP&ME

PrEP is a game changer in the battle against HIV/Aids. The new hiv prevention pill is in the USA already a huge success, but many countries in Europe are hesitating. The Netherlands is one of those countries. In the documentary PrEP&ME, the first long documentary about PrEP in the Netherlands, three participants in an Amsterdam experiment with PrEP talk honestly about the hiv prevention pill and the effect of it on their (sex) life. In this sometimes funny and emotional documentary we see the good and bad things about PrEP. And we hear the opinions of experts. Is PrEP a miracle pill or a party pill?
