In a recent social media video, the Grammy-nominated singer shared that she’s taking PrEP to reduce her risk of contracting HIV, particularly as she dates in Atlanta.

“I’m not going for what everybody else is going for. I’m just not going to do that…Like, all of y’all is dating the same dude. Like, y’all is sharing the same dude,” she explained. “I’m a one-woman man. And I ain’t sharing my man with the streets, although I’m on PrEP. And I would tell everybody to get on PrEP. Because prepare yourself for the streets.”

Having recently separated from her ex-fiancé, Jeremy Robinson, whom she publicly accused of cheating, Braxton is now approaching dating with caution and clarity. She was previously married to producer Vincent Herbert from 2008 to 2019. Braxton has also publicly accused him of having an affair during their marriage.

The “Love and War” star has also been forthright about her life and wellness, even pertaining to her mental health. Anxiety, depression, and even a reported 2020 suicide attempt have been topics that Braxton openly shared with her fans. This journey has inspired her advocacy for therapy and mental wellness, particularly in the Black community.
