PrEParing for the Future: Overcoming Barriers and Empowering Primary Care Clinicians in HIV Prevention

While the United States has made remarkable strides in HIV prevention, treatment, and care, there remains untapped potential, especially in primary care. In 2019, a staggering 1 in 8 individuals living with HIV remained unaware of their status, while countless individuals who could benefit from Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) have yet to embrace its life-saving potential. Join James Simmons, DNP, MSN, RN, AG/ACNP-BC and moderator Aniruddha Hazra, MD in this engaging podcast as they shed light on the barriers that impede individuals from accessing crucial HIV services and illuminate practical strategies to overcome them. Delve into the latest breakthroughs in HIV prevention, with a particular focus on PrEP, and unlock a treasure trove of resources to empower primary care clinicians in delivering exceptional care. Together, let's seize this opportunity to bridge the gaps, ignite change, and revolutionize the landscape of HIV care in the United States.
