Work for decades. And i just really want to honor her life and im excited about the opening of affordable Senior Housing in the tenderloin in her name. Its not always that you get to see your own naming before you pass, and im really glad that her and her family got to see how important her life and achievements have been before she left us. I think it was a huge shock for so many of us to know we wont be seeing her any more, or i wont be seeing her in her office, as she holds me accountable and she always, always held me accountable to the needs of our constituents. So, rest in peace, rest in power, vera. Much honor to you and your family. Thank you, supervisor kim. Supervisor yee. I submit. Supervisor avalos. Okay. Supervisor campos . Thank you.

Are also providing outreach to provider and the public regarding prep. There is within the community being completely honest about where the discussion is, there is within the community a fear that prep will lead to decreased condom usage, that somehow by making prep available people will engage in less safe sex. But lets be honest, right or wrong, for many people gay and straight, there are already many people gay and straight who are simply not using condomseses for a lot of different reasons.

In may, the World Health Organization recommended that among gay and bisexual men, prep should be used as an additional hiv prevention choice with a comprehensive hiv prevention regimen. Additionally, new federal guidelines recommend that prep be considered for people who are hiv negative but are a substantial risk for hiv. However, two years after truvada was approved by the u. S. Food and Drug Administration for prevention and more than four years after studies showed that its actually effective, very few people unfortunately are actually using prep, even though the ability to reduce infections is so significant, more than 90 .

I mean, this is a several billion dollar project and an opportunity for a lot of people to continue to get work. So, its a hearing, my first is a hearing request.
