HIV and AIDS Among African Americans
On the 7th February 2012 National Black HIV and AIDS Awareness Day is held in the United States. The day celebrates the determination, effort and campaigns among black communities to prevent the transmission of HIV.
African American people are still heavily affected by unemployment, poverty, and a lack of access to healthcare. These underlying inequalities have to be addressed if the US is to achieve equal access to HIV prevention, treatment and care. Read our ‘HIV and AIDS Among African Americans’ page, to find out how the ‘social determinants of health’ are integral to tackling the disproportionate impact of HIV in this population.
