The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports Black/African Americans make up 42% of new HIV diagnoses. This group also has the highest diagnoses across other categories, including women and same gender loving males. Join Karen Simms (Trauma & Resilience Initiative), Janice Walker, Susan Johnson (CU-PHD), and Justin Michael Hendrix (HITNHOMEBOY) as they talk about community interventions and challenges to prevention. Contemporary Conversations: HIV/ AIDS in the Black Community is being presented as part of the exhibit Sewn in Memory: AIDS Quilt Panels from Central Illinois.
