Great news for global HIV prevention and treatment: Obama picks Dr. Eric Goosby to lead PEPFAR!
I'm so glad that PEPFAR's 'official' prevention strategy will now emphasize condom use rather than abstinence.
I hope that PEPFAR will also work to incorporate female condoms and anti-HIV prophylactic gels (and any other methods that can empower women in sub-Saharan Africa and India, and give them control over their own sexual health) into its new prevention strategy.
About Me
- kys
- My name is Kaya Shah, and I grew up in Knoxville, TN, a city nestled in a valley of the Smokey Mountains. I moved to Boston to study physics and planetary science at MIT. After graduating, I researched pediatric HIV and TB diagnostics with the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief at the Harvard School of Public Health. I received my M.D. from Loyola Stritch School of Medicine in Chicago. While at Stritch, I participated in a service trip to Fond-des-blancs, Haiti, six months after the 2010 earthquake. I am currently a resident in the anesthesiology residency program at Loyola University Medical Center. I remain interested in medical mission trips.
