I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

To end the epidemic, all must have access.
Getting PrEP into pharmacies would make it easier for many.
