In honor of World AIDS Day, William and Sarah welcome Melissa Carr and Brandon Harris from SafeConnect--a project of UT Southwestern! Together, they dive into what HIV and AIDS are, some common myths about them, their intersection with IPV, and why prevention work at this intersection is so important. Additionally, Melissa and Brandon discuss how SafeConnect is aiming to prevent both IPV and HIV and what support for people living with one or both can look like. For more information or if you have any questions, please reach out to us at prevention@tcfv.org.
