For the 101 exhibit, this region has one of the highest rates of 101 in the nation with 4,949 new HIV diagnoses in 2017 according to the Florida Department of Health http://www.floridahealth.gov/diseases-and-conditions/aids/surveillance/…. With the highest infection rate in the country, coupled with college-students participating in high-risk behaviors, this display is ideal for disseminating HIV prevention strategies and mitigation of risk factors. As a fairly new medical school and continued expansions of our programs, the Renaissance Science, Magic, and Medicine in Harry Potters exhibit is an exciting way to show medical history, with multi-disciplinary populations, including the new push for STEM majors for undecided undergraduates and for students in the social sciences, education, humanities and the arts a great way to make non-traditional connections to the subject of medicine with other academic disciplines. In December, we will include librarian subject specialists from all disciplines, including special collections to reach out and encourage class visits and related-themed programming, i.e. renaissance medicine, harry potter and literature. Two exhibits will be located in the Steven and Dorthea Green Library lobby. Surviving & Thriving, July 22 to August 31, 2019 and Renaissance Science, Magic in Harry Potters World, December 16 to January 25, 2020. The exhibits will be on display at the entrance of the Green Library building with the panels facing the main reference desk where handouts will be located. The handouts for each exhibit include NLM and local public heath initiatives in the South Florida area. For example, the Florida Department of Health has spearheaded a plan to eliminate HIV transmission and reduce HIV-related deaths. The four key components include: implementing routine HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections STIs screening in health care settings and priority testing in non-health care settings, provide rapid access to treatment and ensure retention in care, improve and promote access to antiretroviral pre-exposure prophylaxis PrEP and non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis nPEP, and, increase HIV awareness and community response through outreach, engagement, and messaging. http://www.floridahealth.gov/diseases-and-conditions/aids/index.html .
