The University of Chicago's Center for Interdisciplinary Inquiry and Innovation (Ci3) in Sexual and Reproductive Health was recently awarded a grant to increase access to PrEP in drugstore pharmacy settings in communities with high rates of STI and HIV infection.

Hill and will partner with Indiana University's Rural Center for AIDS/STD Prevention (RCAP), AIDS Foundation of Chicago, and the Indiana Minority Health Coalition.
