The Black Community and HIV.... in recognition OF BLACK HIV/AIDS AWARENESS DAY (Testing, Access to Care, Stigma, Representation etc.)
Description
Tune in as our Guest Speakers dialogue with local community members in reference to the black community engaging in testing, care and basic sexual health conversations:
- Langston Jones (Prevention Specialist) - Vivent Health Care KC
- Kia Price - MSW (Master of Social Work)
Black communities have made great progress in reducing HIV. Yet, issues such as 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. cdc.gov
