Oak Lawn Pharmacy recently hosted an event to introduce a groundbreaking new form of PrEP medication: Apretude. Apretude is a pill-free injection that provides protection against HIV transmission. This medication is a game-changer for those who find it difficult to adhere to daily pill regimens or experience adverse side effects from oral PrEP.

Apretude is a long-acting injectable medication that works by releasing the active ingredients over a period of time, providing protection against HIV transmission for up to 8 weeks. The injection contains two active ingredients, cabotegravir, and rilpivirine, which are also found in oral medication, but with Apretude, they are delivered directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system.

The introduction of Apretude is a significant step forward in HIV prevention, particularly for individuals who find it challenging to adhere to daily oral PrEP regimens. With Apretude, patients only need an injection every eight weeks rather than taking a pill daily. This ease of use can significantly improve medication adherence...

As a pharmacy specializing in HIV treatment, Oak Lawn Pharmacy recognizes the importance of supporting efforts to fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS. That is why we recently attended the AIDS Walk in South Dallas. This annual fundraising event addresses the needs of marginalized and low-income communities and individuals impacted by HIV, whether living with or affected.

This event was an inspiring experience that reminded us of the importance of HIV/AIDS education, prevention, and treatment.

The AIDS Walk South Dallas is a 5K walk in the historic district of Fair Park in Dallas, Texas.

The walk attracts hundreds of participants annually, including healthcare professionals, community leaders, and individuals affected by HIV/AIDS.

As we arrived at the event, the organizers and volunteers greeted us with enthusiasm and positivity.

Before the walk began, we listened to speeches from representatives and sponsors of Aids Walk South Dallas and local healthcare providers. They shared their experiences and insights on the impact of HIV/AIDS on individuals...
