Dr. Katherine Frasca’s commitment to HIV prevention and care is shaped by clinical expertise and early experiences in global health. Her work exemplifies the values of patient-centered medicine and continues to improve the lives of people living with HIV. We’re grateful for all you do, Dr. Frasca! 👏
For Dr. Frasca, (@cudivofid.bsky.social), the fight against HIV is personal. As a med student in Malawi, she saw young women her age die from AIDS-related illness & never forgot them. She’s now dedicated to early diagnosis, prevention & empowering patients to live longer, healthier lives. 📸: (RED)
