We had a great time at our annual Community Appreciation BBQ this weekend. We served food, distributed harm reduction and hygiene supplies, and connected with our community. Deep gratitude to our volunteers and community members for keeping each other safe! #HarmReduction #Naloxone #SSP

Excited to share that the first project I worked on in grad school was accepted for publication in AIDS and Behavior! We used mixed methods + the Health Beliefs Model to examine barriers and facilitators of PrEP adherence among transgender & nonbinary folks. 🏳️‍⚧️
