Laurie Allen For Columbus CEO Thousands of Black women in Ohio face exposure to an incurable virus that could be prevented by taking a once-daily pill, yet only 1 percent of those who could benefit are prescribed the drug, a Columbus pharmacist says.  Black women, who are disproportionately affected by HIV, are the least likely to receive pre-exposure prophylaxis (commonly known as PrEP) to prevent becoming infected with the virus, says Olivia Nathan, a pharmacist with Equitas Health. “This has to change.”  In Ohio, a Black woman is 11 times more likely to be living with HIV than a white woman, according statistics from the Ohio Department of Health. In 2019, white women accounted for more than 82 percent of Ohio’s female population and 42 percent of new HIV diagnoses in females. By contrast, Black women, who account for just 12.5 percent of the state’s female population, comprised 48 percent of new diagnoses, the state says.
