Progress and Resilience
Black communities have made great progress in reducing HIV. Yet racism, discrimination, and mistrust in the health care system may affect whether Black people seek or receive HIV prevention services. These issues may also reduce the likelihood of engaging in HIV treatment and care.
To continue to reduce the burden of HIV and other health risks, people need adequate housing and transportation, employment, access to culturally competent health services that are free of stigma and discrimination, and more.
Together, when we work to overcome structural barriers to HIV testing, prevention, and treatment and to stop HIV stigma, we help reduce HIV-related disparities and health inequities in Black communities.
A convergence of social, political, and technological conditions has created widening divisions in our nation. These deep cultural divides are rending America’s social fabric in ways that inhibit equality, wellness, and progress. Join us to use your art as a threshold to mindfulness and healing.
