Course Overview

Women account for nearly 20% of all HIV cases. Black women account for about half of these. In fact, Black women are 10 times more likely to acquire HIV than White women, highlighting a significant health gap. Contributing to this gap is that PrEP is drastically under-prescribed for Black and Hispanic individuals despite its 99% effectiveness.

We can address these gaps by providing guideline-directed care. Join our free CME/CE webinar to provide better HIV prevention and care for women. Key topics include:

Supporting women through screening, prevention, and treatment of HIV
Implementing cultural humility – how to initiate discussions about sexual health, build trust, and reduce disparities based on race, ethnicity, and gender identity.
PrEP for women – safety, eligibility, and integration with family planning.
Our partnership with Black hair stylists - what we’re doing to address disparities in HIV testing and care.
