Although the CDC recommends fourth-generation antigen/antibody HIV tests when prescribing PrEP, some clinics may only be able to afford less-sensitive rapid testing. HIV testing is key to knowing one's status and the first step to accessing PrEP. We learned so much about what's important to Title X providers and their current challenges.
"Our state isn't paying for HIV testing within our Title X clinics." We pointed local clinicians toward Illinois' marketplace insurance plans' coverage of Truvada as PrEP in AFC's guide. After all, there are expenses beyond the drug, such as quarterly lab costs that may or may not be covered depending on a person's plan. A theme we heard at the conference was uncertainty about how clinics and clients, whether insured, on Medicaid and uninsured could access PrEP. As the field continues to evolve, MRSi provides an exciting venue to uncover the mysteries of reproductive medicine with enthusiasm and collaboration.Ĭontinuing medical education genetics infertility medical conference reproductive endocrinology.The Title X program is the country's primary federal vehicle to provide funds for family planning needs, and as such, Title X-funded providers exist in a unique - and challenging - political and financial climate. The goal of the MRSi meeting is to provide all reproductive professionals the opportunity to exchange ideas, foster relationships, and deliver quality patient care. The structure of the meeting, offering a mixture of lectures, panel discussions, and interactive workshops, creates a collaborative environment for physicians, geneticists, embryologists, nurses, mental health professionals, basic scientists, business administrative professionals, reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellows, and obstetrics and gynecology residents. Each year, the conference agenda encompasses emerging technologies in assisted reproduction, updates in the management of reproductive diseases, and common challenges encountered in clinical practice. "Mystery, Medicine, and the Magnificent Mile," the theme for the annual Midwest Reproductive Symposium International (MRSi) in Chicago, IL, captured the attention of reproductive professionals all over the world.
