In this episode, we welcome clinical research assistant professor, Maranda C. Ward, to discuss the importance of routine screening for both HIV and COVID-19 in primary care. During the COVID pandemic, we became familiar with answering questions about our risk of exposure and symptoms, yet we have failed to make the same routine screening for HIV a priority. This lack of screening is due in part to the stigma associated with both diseases, which disproportionately impact minoritized populations. Maranda will share her research on how to reduce the stigma by routinizing screening in primary care, and the impact this could have in decreasing the number of new HIV infections and improving vaccination rates. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about the important role of primary care in the fight against HIV and COVID-19.
Maranda C. Ward is a clinical research assistant professor.
She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Why HIV and COVID-19 vaccine screening should go together."
