Oct. 11 — Professor presents national symposium on HIV prevention and decision aids
Jessica Draughon Moret, an associate professor at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis, presented the symposium, “Bridging Gaps in HIV Prevention: Iterative Development of an HIV PEP Decision Aid,” at the 26th Conference of the Nursing Network on Violence Against Women (NNVAW) International. The symposium covered Jessica’s work through the National Institute of Mental Health Planning Grant Program R34 to develop a multimedia app to educate about post-exposure HIV medications. She and her research team also outlined the development of a collaborative effort among service providers to address gaps in HIV PEP provision post-sexual assault, with a focus on medication access. Draughon Moret is a forensic nurse whose research focuses on structural factors contributing to women’s health disparities. She continues her work in this area as a fellow in the Betty Irene Moore Fellowship for Nurse Leaders and Innovators. NNVAW was formed to encourage the development of nursing practice to address the health and social effects of violence in women's lives.
