Shelby County in Tennessee is one of 50 jurisdictions that account for over half of all new infections. Similarly the state borders KY, AL, MS, MO, and AR--all states with a rural HIV burden. HIV doesn't stop at the state line--Tennessee's rural counties need these resources. https://twitter.com/HIVpxresearch/status/1617650114025361412
