Expanding Prevention, Treatment, and Care Ending HIV & Youth Homelessness in the South

Written By Guest User

The South is home to the most HIV infection rates in the country, and there’s a racial equity crisis connected. If current rates continue, half of all Black gay and bisexual men will have HIV in their lifetime, compared to 10% of white gay and bisexual men. Learn about the social determinants that put Black and Brown folks, LGBTQ+ youth, and youth experiencing homelessness at a greater risk of HIV exposure. Hear how equitable access to PReP across the South is critical to prevention efforts and leave with resources that can support newly diagnosed LGBTQ+ youth and ensure that they get sustainable access to the care they’re owed.
