Frankie
Frankie is a 20-year-old nonbinary youth from Delaware who travels to Philly a lot to meet with friends and a couple folks he sees romantically. One of his current partners disclosed to him that he tested positive for HIV. Frankie is worried about the results, so they’ve been avoiding getting tested. It’s been about a month since the partner disclosed their diagnoses.
Elijah
Elijah is 21 years old, and quite knowledgeable about PrEP. In fact, they started talking Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) when they were 15. After some life challenges, they are ready to get back on track with their PrEP medications, now that they have insurance that will cover it.
Cory
Cory is about to turn 21 and is looking forward to his very eventful birthday party at a hotel. He is ready for a lot of fun, but trusting the other party goers to bring/use condoms may not be protection enough.
