Mashup Score: 12Making PrEP easy - 2 year(s) ago
As pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) approaches its tenth birthday, there is much to celebrate. In populations with high PrEP coverage, HIV incidence is declining. PrEP use is associated with reduced anxiety1 and increased intimacy, pleasure, and sexual satisfaction.2 PrEP connects users to other prevention services and gives them a sense of control over their health.3 PrEP is a biomedical win,…

Access to care is necessary but not sufficient for PrEP impact and equity. We followed 13K PrEP users at @aboutKP for 26K person-years, finding gaps by race, ethnicity, sex, SES, & substance use at every step of the care continuum. Now at @JAMANetworkOpen: https://t.co/1m9Jk1ng0G

We understand how this will end. But who bears the risk that remains?

That vaccines allow people freedom to see loved ones is something to celebrate. But public health policies need to center the vulnerable: address barriers to vaccine access, protect workplaces, and keep public spaces usable for all. Always read @edyong209: https://t.co/Qr1PuJZcWB
