There have been a few prominent exceptions, like Magic Johnson and Ryan White, but the bulk of HIV prevention and care was directed at this single community, allowing it to spread at devastating rates in other populations.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 50 percent of Black gay and bisexual men will contract HIV in their lifetime. Black Americans represent 43 percent of new HIV diagnoses in the nation, although they represent only 12 percent of the population. Cisgender Black women are 16 times more likely to be diagnosed with HIV than cis white women.

Nothing Bundt Cakes plans to open what’s expected to be the cake shop chain’s first Richmond-area location at 11845 W. Broad St. in the Kroger-anchored Corner at Short Pump shopping center.

True to its name, Nothing Bundt Cakes bakes and sells bundt cakes in a variety of sizes, styles and flavors.

Marcelle has been a state legislator since 2016, and her first piece of legislation directly tackled the city’s imminent water crisis.
“Why not do what’s right for people?” she asked.
Her legislation died in committee. So she tried again the next year and the next and the next and the next.
