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.
