The two friends discuss HIV risk factors for Black women and the friend's conversation with her doctor about PrEP, a once-daily pill that can prevent HIV. While initially hesitant, the friend is supportive once she understands her friend just wants to protect herself, as condoms and trusting partners are not foolproof. She agrees to consider PrEP herself and supports her friend seeking her doctor's advice on the best options for staying safe.

1. Hey girl, what are you
up to?

2. Nothing much, about to
go to dinner, what about
you?

3. Nothing really… I
wanted to talk to you
about something.

4. What’s that?

5. Well, you were in class when
they talked about the risk for
HIV in Black women right?

6. Oh yeah! It’s
crazy right?

7. I know! Well… I talked to Daniel
and he was like I should think
about safe sex practices now
before I get into a relationship.

8. Right right, makes
sense. Gotta stay up…

9. So I went to my doctor and
talked to her about this new HIV
prevention method PrEP…

10. Oh the once-a day pill
thing?

11. Yeah, and she thinks I could do
it… What do you think?

12. Well... I mean you
aren’t doin nothing
outlandish are you?

13. No of course not!

14. So why worry about
it, you ain’t no slut or
nothing…

15. You don’t have to be! Seriously boys
really be playin you out here and you
never know who’s faithful. And you
don’t know who these boys have been
messing with… it’s hard out here for
real… Plus condoms and stuff aren’t
always that reliable, they can reduce
the risk greatly but what happens if he
puts it on wrong or if he forgets? I
don’t want the rest of my life in his
hands! I’m gonna do what I need to
do to protect me, you feel me?

16. You right… I feel
that… So what you
gonna do?

17. I don’t know… I know I’m keeping it on
my radar but who know’s when I’ll get
into a relationship… I’m still gonna
meet with my doctor and see what
she thinks is best… I just want to be
safe, I’m not tryna be another statistic.
I’ve come too far to mess up now.

18. Yo I’m with you… Tell
me what your doctor
says… shoot, I may
even think about it
myself.

19. Bet… I’ll keep you updated.

20. Alright, well I gotta go
but I’ll catch you
later… I’m really
proud of you, girl…
For real, this is a huge
decision and a great
step forward.

21. Thank you, I appreciate that.

22. I’ll catch you later.
(Kisses)

23. Bye!
