We will start by having Amy Lansky from CDC describe the treatment cascade and some of the work that CDC has done to address it. Following that, Rupali Doshi will present HRSA’s work around the treatment cascade, as well as some data for various points along the cascade. Sonali Kulkarni from the Los Angeles County EMA will then present on how her jurisdiction has worked towards addressing gaps in the treatment cascade. She will be followed by Jennifer Keller from Wake Forest, who will talk about implementing a linkage to care intervention. We will end with a question-and-answer period, and we welcome comments from audience members about their work in the cascade. So let’s get started.
