Stagnant funding for HIV care impacting Texans' access to prevention medication

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 04:52:55 GMT

TEXAS (KXAN) — Preliminary reporting by America's HIV Epidemic Analysis Dashboard (AHEAD) has found the number of Texans who need HIV prevention medication and receive it is declining. Early data indicates a smaller percentage of people diagnosed with HIV in Texas are receiving medical care for it within one month of the person's diagnosis. In 2021, 79.2% of diagnosed patients received medical treatment in that first month; come 2022, that percentage had dipped to 72.6%. KXAN INVESTIGATES: 5 Texas law enforcement agencies explain missing persons reporting gap Christopher Hamilton, chief executive officer of Texas Health Action, told KXAN that while substantial progress has been made nationally in reducing HIV transmissions, funding levels have remained stagnant for those seeking treatment for an existing infection or who are taking preventative medications."We don't have a dedicated source of funding for HIV prevention through [Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP] — there is not a f...

Though Bailey Ober is throwing well, Twins unlikely to start season with six starters

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 04:52:55 GMT

Sure, anything is possible, Twins manager Rocco Baldelli acknowledged.But the idea of the team breaking camp with six starters? Well, it’s not probable at this point. The door is slightly ajar, but it doesn’t seem as if it’s something the Twins are strongly considering, despite Bailey Ober’s effective start to the spring.When the Twins opened camp nearly a month ago, the idea of a six-man rotation wasn’t in the Twins’ plans. It isn’t now, either, president of baseball operations Derek Falvey said on Saturday, but it’s an idea he’s at least a little bit more amenable to.“There’s at least a conversation we’ve been having internally about how that could work and what it would mean for the bullpen, how we would navigate that,” Falvey said. “Some of it will be health dependent, but we’re open to the conversation maybe more now than I was a month ago.”The Twins plan on running out a rotation of Pablo López, Joe Ryan, Sonny Gray, Tyler Mahle and Kenta Maeda. The latter three all ende...

With more than 1,000 students expected to enter Stillwater Area Public Schools in the next 10 years, school officials are considering a possible bond referendum in the fall to add capacity at the elementary and middle school levels and address issues in buildings that are more than 100 years old.That could mean major changes at schools in the central and southern part of the district, where most of the growth is occurring.Schools that are already near capacity and are projected to be over capacity in the coming years include: Afton-Lakeland Elementary in Lakeland; Andersen Elementary in Bayport, and Lake Elmo Elementary and Oak-Land Middle School in Lake Elmo.“We are very early in this conversation,” said Carissa Keister, district spokeswoman. “We’re going to spend the next several months talking to our community to problem solve what are some potential solutions and opportunities.”A recent demographic study showed most of the growth will come from communities like Baytown Township,...
