This year's S*x & Chocolate Fair was a little earlier and LOTS more interactive!

Thanks to the *many* of Rochester students who dropped by, grabbed a candy bar, and picked up tips on HIV prevention and clinical trial participation. It was a great way for Rudi to introduce our newest intern, Yahaya, a of Rochester School of Nursing & Health Sciences PhD student, to the RVA outreach scene. And it's always great to visit the other side of Elmwood Ave. 👋

We are part of the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN), one of the networks listed in this article.

“Come down here now and learn about PrEP!”

Words like these, from folks to their friends while chatting with URMC's PrEP ambassador Aaron Brown, warm our hearts. Today's Push Week event at Strong Memorial Hospital was a hit, and now even more of our neighbors know of all the options available to keep protected from the HIV virus.

If you'd like to talk with Aaron or want some of the flyers and infocards, message us — we're eager to connect!
