CROI: What Does It Mean for Our Everyday Lives?

CROI, statistics, TasP, PrEP ... what does all of this mean? In this week's episode, we break down the language of research and focus on what it means for people living or at risk for HIV. It can be a challenge to dissect and translate the research language into something that's useful to everyday life, and to help us, we have J. Welsey Thompson, MHS, PA-C, AAHIVS, DFAAPA. He has practiced medicine for over 28 years and is in practice at Rosedale Infectious Disease in the greater Charlotte region of the Carolinas. He has co-investigated in over 60 clinical trials for new medications to treat HIV. He lectures locally, statewide, and nationally to medical conferences, to patient groups, and provider groups.  He serves as guest lecturer and adjunct professor at Davidson University, Duke University, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Central Piedmont Community College, Wake Forest University and Wingate University. 

Wesley Thompson, PA-C along side hosts Aaron M. Laxton and Mathew K. Rodriguez help guide you through the research from CROI and will make sure you come away knowing something you didn't before. You may find out more about Wesley by visiting his website at www.jwesleythompson.com.
