1 In 4 People With HIV Are Women. So Why Are They Shut Out Of The Conversation?
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
In the decades since the first official report of HIV in June of 1981, there have been many advances in HIV research. However, women – particularly women of color and young women – continue to be affected by HIV/AIDS, while being ignored in mainstream conversations about it.
In the Loop hears the story of Marta Santiago, a Chicago woman diagnosed with HIV in the 1980s. We also hear from UIC’s Jennifer Brier about a women’s living history project called “I’m Still Surviving.”
