  • Summary

  • People who use drugs are one of the most marginalized communities in America, and experience poor access to medical services and life-saving treatment. Join Linda Wang, MD, Medical Director of the Hepatitis C and Drug User Health Center of Excellence at Mount Sinai, as she interviews clinicians, patients, and advocates for harm reduction and social justice, about the current state of healthcare for people who use drugs and how clinicians and other members of the care team can improve that care. If you are someone who provides care for people who use drugs, this show will introduce you to the most recent New York State clinical guidelines for drug user health, innovative models of care, and the voices and stories of people who use drugs. This show is part of the Clinical Education Initiative (CEI), funded by the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute.

  • Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP): What Clinicians Need to Know

    Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP): What Clinicians Need to Know
    Jun 21 2021
    Pre-exposure prophylaxis, also known as PrEP, is a highly effective way to prevent HIV infection. While we are most familiar with the pill that is taken every day, there are new long acting injectables coming down the pipeline, with the potential to improve PrEP adherence. Roughly 1 in 5 people who use drugs are at very high risk of getting HIV. Despite this, very few of them are actually getting PrEP. To hear more about these new advancements in PrEP, and how we can close the treatment gap for people who use drugs, I interviewed Dr. Tony Urbina, an infectious disease physician and Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine. Dr. Urbina is also the Medical Director of the New York State Clinical Education Initiative HIV Primary Care and Prevention Center of Excellence.
