Love is contractible. Lust is transmittable. Touch is contagious. Catch feelings, not HIV.
PrEP is a once-daily medication that can reduce your risk of getting HIV.
"One Little Pill"- "A public service announcement from the Gyne Minaj, this rap empowers women that she is in control over who she lets in. You can be dismissed if you don't care about your safety and mine. PrEP is your back up plan." - Dr. Every Woman (aka Dr. Wendy McDonald)
The CATCH DESIRE VISUAL EP is written and performed by Chicago-based OBGYN and rapper, Dr. Every Woman (aka Wendy Mcdonald), as well as appearances by local influencers, such as recording artist and model Syren, advocate and actor Damon Williams, choreographer and stylist Darling Shear, and dancers Melody Flynn and Melissa Koops.
The CATCH DESIRE EP features three original songs written and recorded by Dr. Everywoman. Each song aims to uplift the narratives and experiences of sexually liberated black women while also promoting the value of PrEP through witty remakes of all-time-favorites Computer Love by Zapp, Shoop by Salt-N-Peppa and Anaconda by Nicki Minaj.
The visuals were produced by People Who Care, Inc. in collaboration with PrEP4Love and the Chicago Department of Public Health and directed by Elijah McKinnon, Ashley Battle and Demetrius Barry and filmed at Silent Funny. The project was funded by a grant from the Chicago Department of Public Health. Learn more about PrEP at www.prep4love.com.
