Ep: 1864 Tyler Evans MD - Street Medicine: The Last Mile to Ending the HIV Epidemic
Jun 1700:26:12Tap to summarizeThe science already exists. PrEP is highly effective, and antiretroviral therapy can reduce HIV transmission to effectively zero.

Dr. Tyler Evans, CEO of the Wellness Equity Alliance and a physician practicing street medicine, is helping lead efforts to end the HIV epidemic by focusing on individuals often left behind by modern healthcare systems. He discusses why addressing the "last mile" of HIV care requires meeting patients beyond traditional clinic settings.
