Excited to partner with @stophivtogether to help spread the good word!
As we all know, February is Black History Month but did you know that February 7th is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day? Did you know, to this day, HIV/AIDS is disproportionately affecting the Black community?
In 2018, Black people made up 13% of the population but accounted for 42% of new HIV diagnoses. As of 2018, an estimated 40% of people living with HIV in the US were Black American. Did you know In 2019, Black Americans had the highest rate of new HIV diagnoses at 45 diagnoses per 100,000 people, which was more than 8.5 times the rate for White Americans? Among PrEP medicine users in 2016 for whom race/ethnicity data were available, only about 11% were Black American compared to about 69% who were White American.
It is imperative that we do whatever we can to help stop the spread of HIV/AIDS and it starts with us getting tested regularly BUT we must also make sure we do whatever we can to ensure the knowledge and resources reach the people who need it most from here on out!
