Let’s continue our conversation on PrEP Therapy for HIV. We’ll be taking a deeper look at asking a provider for PrEP; who do you ask, what you should ask, and where should you go? Listen in and find out! We also have our friend, Dr. Gabriella Maris, back with us to teach us a bit more about LGBTQ+. We'll be going a bit more practical; from the challenges faced as far as insurance, to what we as health care providers should be paying extra attention for in our screening. Dr. Gabriella Maris is a family medicine physician from Columbia, South Carolina. She attended Medical University of South Carolina College of Medicine for medical school and the University of Pennsylvania for residency. Dr. Maris is heavily engaged in treating patients in the LGBTQ+ community and plays an active role in creating opportunities for education among other clinicians. [Welcome back to the showToday’s HPI: PrEP therapy for HIV - continued Who to talk to - finding the right providerPeople who can prescribe99% effective in sexual transmission, 74% in IV drug users Tune in to learn more about how long it takes to workWelcome back, Dr. Gabriella Maris[Dr. Maris talks about the challenges around insurance The importance in getting yourself educated Top ailments that need extra attention for screening The issues surrounding drug use [Dr. Maris shares about ways you can advocate Dr. Maris gives parting advice on finding the right doctors [What one word would you use to describe South Carolina?Best athlete among your siblings?What would you put at the end of a rainbow?Message for you two children?Favorite celebrity?[Final PrEP Therapy facts and tipsFinals words Tweetable Quotes:“A little bit can go a long way… So many people from this community have just been marginalized that all they really want is someone to be open minded and actively listen and to be embracing…” - Dr. Gabriella MarisResources Mentioned: PrEP Therapy for HIVBasics-------------------------------------- To know more, you can connect with me on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
