Porn4PrEP activist Jason Domino has just returned from the UN in Geneva where he gave a speech about HIV. He was talking at a Human Rights conference about the importance of sex education and the power of PrEP.
Speaking to Gay Star News, he says: ‘I spoke about the activism coming from the adult film industry. Porn4PrEP is challenging countries approaches to sex education. They should include modern HIV knowledge and LGBTQ inclusive lessons.’
Domino believes PrEP should be available to everyone who wants it. ‘It is insulting a pill that was developed for HIV and found to work at prevention is being priced as a drug with equal research and development charges.’
‘During the conference, I also represented the need to consider those with mental health conditions and learning difficulties as a key vulnerable group at risk of contracting HIV.’
He tells us he spoke about the advocacy coming from porn stars part of his non-profit: ‘Porn studios can play an important part in modern life,’ Domino says. He explains his group creates collaborations between studios and performers. Pressure on studios drives work to become independent, where goodwill projects and monitoring are less likely.’
