Reaching Women Where They’re At: Setting Up a Safe Space for HIV Prevention Conversations
Update: 2024-06-24
Description
According to the CDC, out of 31,000 new HIV infections in the U.S, almost 20% were women. If we want to end the epidemic, say infection disease experts, at least 50% of people at high risk for contracting HIV need to be on pre-exposure prophylaxis medicine (PrEP). At the moment, 92% of those on PrEP are men and only 8% are women—so clearly our efforts to connect with women are falling short. What are the barriers and challenges women face in getting information and treatment? Two renowned leaders in the field say we need to think outside the box to meet women where they are.
