Bridge HIV's Dr. Hyman Scott discussed how long-acting PrEP decreased HIV disparities in Black participants in the HPTN 083 study.

"Long-acting cabotegravir is a powerful HIV prevention tool to increase access to PrEP and address continued racial disparities in HIV incidence in the United States."

For more information on how you can potentially try long-acting PrEP, check out our Pillar study: https://helpfighthiv.org/pillar/

"Wouldn’t it be freeing to never have to worry about gonorrhea ever again?"

Check out this article written and shared by San Francisco AIDS Foundation on Bridge HIV's gonorrhea vaccine study. SFAF's Emily Land interviewed our Dr. Hyman Scott about the importance of finding an gonorrhea vaccine.
“Bacterial meningitis and gonorrhea infections are both caused by Neisseria bacteria,” said Hyman Scott, MD, from Bridge HIV and San Francisco AIDS Foundation. “The bacteria share a lot of similar structures, which is why the vaccine may work to prevent both types of infection.”

For more information about the study, visit our website: https://helpfighthiv.org/gonvax/

Here’s how you can participate in a study to test the vaccine’s effectiveness.
