Family, did you know Black women account for over 50% of new HIV diagnoses among women. Let that sink in.
Last week Anna DeShawn covered The Time Is Now: Let’s End HIV in Our Communities, a press briefing held during the National Medical Association’s Annual Convention in Chicago. We appreciate our partners at the National Black Justice Coalition for inviting us into the room.
This presser brought together cultural and medical leaders including Raheem DeVaughn, Jotaka Eaddy, and organizations like Gilead Sciences and the Chicago Black Gay Men’s Caucus to sound the alarm and push for people-centered solutions like PrEP, education, and testing.
Raheem reminded us, “HIV isn’t a gay issue, or a straight issue, it’s a human issue.”
