Welcome to Culture Clinic, MedPage Today‘s collaboration with Northwell Health to offer a healthcare professional’s take on the latest viral medical topics.

They travelled more than 406,700 kilometres from Earth, further than any humans have travelled before.

A national analysis of claims data found that only 1.6% of at-risk youth filled a prescription for HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) from 2018 to 2022.
