PrEP and Doxy: Strategies for Prevention

The PrEP and Doxy: Strategies for Prevention Webinar offers an in-depth exploration of innovative HIV and STI prevention methods. It focuses on the combined use of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) for HIV prevention and doxycycline as a potential pre and post-exposure prophylaxis to prevent certain bacterial STIs. Attendees will gain insights into the latest research and best practices for incorporating these strategies into prevention efforts.

This course is jointly provided by Postgraduate Institute for Medicine and HealthHIV.

This activity is intended for physicians, pharmacists, registered nurses, PAs, psychologists, social workers and other healthcare providers engaged in the care of patients with HIV.

Empowering Black Women: Breaking Barriers with PrEP Across the Lifespan

Transgender and gender-diverse people seek preventive health care and health screenings less often than do other people due to a variety of factors including lack of insurance coverage, being refused care, difficulty finding a health care provider with expertise in transgender care or fear of discrimination in a health care setting. This webinar will address the need for accurate comprehensive data on transgender health, as well as how to provide specialized, culturally competent care to transgender individuals in a non-stigmatizing environment.

This webinar will highlight the importance of engaging women in HIV prevention at each stage of life, including strategies for engagement and barriers to care.
