Our team works collaboratively with stakeholders from medical, academic, and community based settings to explore new and better options for the prevention and management of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Our goal is to find patient-centered solutions to improving the health and well being of communities impacted by HIV and other STIs.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, our team has rapidly mobilized to launch and participate in a variety of exciting clinical trials about the treatment and prevention of this new infectious disease.
