Patients should feel safe to discuss any aspect of their sexual health with their care providers. Whether it is an unexpected discharge, a hard-to-explain injury, or a request for sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing, medical professionals should be available to offer their patients the information and services they need. Unfortunately, that is not how it goes for many Black women in this country when it comes to HIV, particularly when they are older.
Case in point: Though they only make up 13% of all women in the U.S., Black women accounted for 57% of all women who tested positive for HIV in 2018.

death criminally or not. how unusual is it for the judge to make public a letter like that from the juror who said, i just can t find him guilty? all of it is unusual. i do know south carolina allows the judge can t ask, but if the jury presents it to the judge, then it is now public record, but i think it s a dangerous path to start talking about anything about what the jury is deliberating, the number, the votes, because if no other reason, they now get sort of cemented into what they said publicly. the other problem i see with, it quite honestly, if it ends up in a mistrial, we now know that one juror, who unfortunately will probably be identified somehow, is now going to have the weight of everyone s frustration on his or her shoulders. i ll have to wrap it there. thank you so much, mark o mara, for joining us. we ll continue to stay on top of all the developments in the slager trial and we ll bring those to you as they happen. up next now, the
