You don’t hear a lot about HIV/AIDS and the impact on the Black community these days. Health officials don’t speak about it as much today like they did maybe 20, 30 years ago. What would you say has been the most vital advancements when it comes to HIV/AIDS over the last two decades, when it comes to education, treatment, prevention, outlook, outreach?
You’re right that there hasn’t been as much attention to HIV in Black communities recently. The interesting thing is it’s getting less attention, but the technology that we have, the advancements that we’ve made in HIV, have led us to a place where when we talk about HIV, we talk about ending HIV within our lifetime, which is a pretty extraordinary thing, that we have these amazing biomedical tools that theoretically could get us to the end of HIV.
