Best New Medical Resource

Part of being in a state with such an oppressively right-wing legislature is that Nashville has often had to innovate and forge its own path when it comes to public health matters. The ongoing battle against the global HIV epidemic has seen the legendary Nashville CARES and several other groups leading the way when it comes to HIV awareness and maintenance for all of Nashville’s communities. To that list we must add the brand-new Music City PrEP Clinic, which works to limit and, in some cases, head off the transmission of HIV/AIDS through the use of the pre-exposure prophylaxis medications (you may have seen them advertised on TV) Truvada and Descovy. The clinic’s team of medical professionals and community liaisons is doing the work and fighting the good fight. JASON SHAWHAN
