Educating and agitating for PrEP in England and beyond since 2015.

Created by four health activists in response to a lack of clear and concise information about and availability of HIV PrEP, PrEPster was conceived around a kitchen table in east London in the beginning of 2015 and then built across that summer in Brixton back-gardens and upstairs rooms of pubs with radical queer histories.

In particular, the crew who founded PrEPster were concerned about the lack of information to key communities including gay and bi men, Black African communities, trans people, sex workers and migrants.

The founders of PrEPster were driven by a desire to present complex scientific information in accessible and easy-to-understand formats and language.

In 2018, the same people who established PrEPster founded The Love Tank.

The Love Tank is a not-for-profit community interest community (CIC) promoting the health and wellbeing of under-served communities through education, capacity building and research.

The Love Tank provides a mothership to house and hold PrEPster, along with a heaving portfolio of other programmes developed by the team, like QueerHealth.info, Queers Beyond Borders, and much more.

PrEPster could not have happened without the dedication, support and love of a million people. We salute the comrades who helped us on to our feet and those who kept us standing, and those who showed us the paths to follow.

Access to PrEP – in England and beyond – is testimony to the power of individuals coming together and taking action.

This 2025 version of the PrEPster website was produced by two of the original co-founders of PrEPster - Richie and Will. Charlie and Marc - two other original co-founders from 2015 - continue to lead research and health initiatives nationally and globally. With love for all the journeys we've been on together.

With solidarity to Alex and Greg from iwantPrEPnow and to our dear sister Mags.
