with HIV and at
risk in the Andalucia region.

Objective
BU Wellness Network (BUWN) launched a city-wide sex-positive PrEP/HIV
stigma social marketing campaign called "Love Is: Conversations about Love, Sex, and Prevention" to
increase PrEP awareness and readiness while reducing HIV-related stigma. The campaign launched in
September of 2022 and ran through the end of 2022.
Impact
Through the campaign’s strategic web-based presence with ads, a website landing page, YouTube
videos, and social media content, as well as a PrEP working group that was developed to engage
members of priority populations and be a diverse body for the thought creation of the campaign
and original planning, programming was able to reach a substantial number of people online and
in-person. The “Love Is” campaign was the largest campaign the organization has ever run,
allowing the organization to create dialogue in the community, begin to break down communication
barriers and reduce stigma around love, sex and HIV prevention.
