The Mission of the R.A.P.I.D. Program is to provide innovative and accessible approaches to infectious disease prevention.  We are passionate about lowering barriers to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP), and HIV care entry for people living in South Florida. We work with many academic and community partners to provide services and advance research on infectious disease prevention.

R.A.P.I.D. Resources

The RAPID Resource Program is a joint initiative with the Florida Department of Health designed to increase provider knowledge of the benefits of routine HIV testing and educate providers on how to offer Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis or PrEP services to individuals who are at a high risk of HIV. Our goal is to increase routine HIV testing and referrals for PrEP services in health care settings.
