PrEP, or pre-exposure prophylaxis, is when people at high risk for HIV take HIV medicine daily to lower their chances of getting […]

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates 468,000 U.S. women could benefit from PrEP. However, fewer Black women have been prescribed PrEP or know about PrEP than white women. Forty percent of women access reproductive health care only, making family […]
Congress passed a budget deal on February 9th which raised the spending caps and potentially increases the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) funding level.
