HIV Testing

National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is a day to acknowledge how HIV disproportionately affects Black people. Black Americans represent 14% of the U.S. population, but 40% of new HIV infections, with black women accounting for 54% of all new HIV diagnoses in women. Lakeshore Public Media host Dee Dotson is joined by Kaye Hayes, HHS Deputy Assistant Secretary for Infectious Disease and Director of the Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy. Also joining the conversation is Alicia Diggs, Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS member who discusses the “I am a Work of ART” campaign.
