The Waves of Truvada in Stopping HIV

We begin our week with posting the following video from Vice.com which has developed a 3 part series in which viewers can get a point of view about the use of the drug, Truvada and its impact on consumers both HIV positive or not. Discussions around its usage have been animated across the country, yet in Arkansas there has not been a grow swell of dialogue concerning the use of the drug, however, there have been no direct surveys or inquires as to the usage or even the prescribing of the drug.

As the week goes forward, COP 24/7 will share the entire series and more information on how individuals can get FREE testing, counseling, insurance navigation, links to care or retention in care and direct contacts to services. It's going to be fact filled week that will cover a variety of topics to increase our communities viral load! Please share this post with your networks and repost on your social sites.
