WSIU InFocus: PrEP Pill Offers Hope for HIV Prevention

Logo

WSIU's Jennifer Fuller talks with Jackson County Public Health Department HIV Services Director Paula Clark about PrEP, or Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis. This drug can dramatically reduce the chances of contracting HIV.

Jackson County's Health Department, which administers HIV Services for most of southern Illinois, recently received a grant to help spread awareness about PrEP and expand its availability to high-risk populations in this region.

Jennifer Fuller joined Capitol News Illinois in July 2023 as the organization’s broadcast director. She will oversee the launch and operations of CNI’s new broadcast division.
