Date Time Researchers offer lifelines to Black women with HIV Coinciding with the pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests, a unique Department of Psychology study known as MMAGIC helped dozens of marginalized women through unprecedented stress. When University of Miami researchers set out in the fall of 2019 to assess how everyday stressors affect the health of Black women living with HIV, they had no idea the women would soon be contending with two unprecedented social upheavals that rocked the world. But the convergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests that followed George Floyd’s murder provided new insights into how subtle but hurtful insults, more blatant discrimination, and recurring violence affect the health of Black women living with HIV. It also provided the opportunity to connect the women to vital resources during unexpectedly chaotic times.
