The first webinar in NACCHO’s new series, Get PrEP-ped for Prevention, is now available for on-demand viewing!

This December, NACCHO launched a new webinar series on PrEP for HIV prevention as part of its World AIDS Day programming. The first webinar session, LHDs as HIV Prevention Champions, is a refresher on the basics of PrEP for HIV prevention and how local health departments (LHDs) can support implementation of this incredible HIV prevention strategy. After watching, attendees will learn about the many roles LHDs can play in increasing access to PrEP, hear examples from LHDs of all sizes, and get connected to resources to help PrEP-pare the local public health workforce to implement PrEP and empower communities.  

Register on Zoom to watch the recording: Get PrEP-ped for Prevention: LHDs as HIV Prevention Champions
