March is Women's History Month:
Today in fact, March 10th is National Women and Girls HIV Awareness Day. We spoke with Dr. Andrea Dunn, Executive Director of Let's BeeHIVE - an HIV Education non-profit organization that serves our community. Let's BeeHIVE provides a variety of resourceful groups for women and girls infected and affected by the HIV virus. They now offer PrEP - which is a Pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention. To learn more about PrEP go to https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/prep.html. To learn more about Let's BeeHIVE and their Queen Bee event happening today https://www.letsbeehive.org/
We also spoke with Ramin Bastani,founder and CEO of Healthvana a patient engagement platform for healthcare providers across the U.S. The company has been at the cutting edge addressing the HIV epidemic. Through their use of AI and encouraging patients to remain HIV negative by using PrEP, Bastini states there could be an end to the epidemic by the year 2030.
On a lighter note, we spoke with America's first Black punter in the NFL, Greg Coleman. After his time on the field, punting for three professional teams and doing sideline analysis, Coleman is back in his native Jacksonville as the Executive Director of the Bob Hayes Invitational Track Meet. It is their 60th Anniversary and the multi day event will bring thousands of students throughout the state to compete at UNF for scholarships and the chance to be scouted.
