EmblemHealth and ConnectiCare will observe the 37th World AIDS Day on Dec. 1 by focusing on prevention and offering you support in caring for our members who have HIV/AIDS. The theme for 2024 is “Collective Action: Sustain and Accelerate HIV Progress.”

HIV/AIDS Prevention – PrEP
HIV PrEP is a preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP). It may protect patients against HIV, even if their partner has HIV. We ask our New York providers to consider registering for inclusion in the New York State Department of Health PrEP Prescribers directory.
Here are a few resources for you and your patients:
- CDC HIV PrEP Resources.
- NYSDOH Online Resources for Education, Information, and Services.
- HIV/AIDS Services in Connecticut.
