Getting Real About HIV/AIDS In Our Community and How We Can All Do Our Part

“If Black women were affected by HIV in the same way that White women were, the new HIV cases among Black women would be down by 93 percent.”
Raniyah Copeland, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Black AIDS Institute, has devoted her career to furthering the conversation around HIV/AIDs and the Black community. Today is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day and we sat down with Copeland for an intimate conversation about where the Black community stands in the current war against HIV/AIDS and the work that still must be down to increase our progress, lower our rates, and ultimately, save lives. Better understanding the situation is step one in how we do our part to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS in the Black community. Here’s why we still have work to do. This is an edited excerpt from our powerful conversation.
