First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will train 75 Louisiana pharmacists to prescribe PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. The training includes lessons on health disparities and implicit bias, plus mentoring. Researchers want to see if this increases the number of PrEP prescriptions, especially in communities that often miss out on HIV prevention.
