Welcome to another episode of The Prevention Platform! Today, Ashley is joined by Joa, an Early Intervention Specialist at Silk Lehigh Valley—Valley Youth House's safe haven for LGBTQ+ youth. Together, they explore the critical role of prevention and education in raising awareness about HIV and AIDS.
