NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / May 9, 2024 / A 22-year-old college student who didn’t feel well was treated at an urgent care facility in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and expected to
recover soon. But when his symptoms worsened, he returned to the emergency department and was given a more thorough check-up and routine screening exams – including an HIV test – based on the
facility’s screening eligibility criteria.
When the test came back positive, the student was immediately linked to care and he became one of the many people whose lives have been impacted by Gilead’s FOCUS program. Launched in 2010, FOCUS
enables partners to develop and share best practices in screenings and diagnosis of HIV, hepatitis B and C, as well as linkage to care, in accordance with public health guidelines.
