Reflections: TRAILBLAZER Study
This virtual presentation is on exciting new research being conducted globally and at one of Caracole’s partners, the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Dr. Carl Fichtenbaum and one of the study participants discuss methodology, stated goals of this research, and real-world applications of knowledge gained. This research and discussion are an integral part of the important work that needs to be accomplished to reach our shared goal of ending the HIV epidemic in the United States.
Systemic Barriers to Ending the HIV Epidemic
Since the announcement in 2018 by the federal government of a national goal of ending the HIV epidemic in the United States and its territories, many jurisdictions have faced a variety of barriers. Some may be specific to an individual community and others have statewide or even national implications. This panel discusses those challenges, lessons learned, and strategies to mitigate the impact on the community and those living with or affected by HIV.
Constitutionalism and A Changing Landscape
This virtual presentation will focus on the differences between State and Federal courts, laws, and policies that impact public health efforts from the Affordable Care Act (ACA), PrEP, and reproductive rights to religious exemptions.
