At-Home STI Access: Visby and RAINN just launched the Safe Access Program, sending free at-home STI tests to 20 RAINN partners—starting with 1,000 tests for people in rural areas and places with limited healthcare, including the U.S. Virgin Islands. Health Equity in Action: The program uses PCR testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis, aiming to cut delays caused by stigma and fear of retraumatization. Medicare Admin Update: Starting May 8, CMS says Medicare DMEPOS appeals and rebuttals will be handled by National Provider Enrollment contractors (NPEs) instead of Chags Health IT, with Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands included under Novitas Solutions. Community Support: This Saturday, the Stamp Out Hunger food drive returns—letter carriers collect non-perishable donations for local pantries across the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Digital Health Safety: A new report flags inconsistent enforcement of health scam ads on Facebook, including illegal or dangerous product claims.
