Campaign ads we created for billboards and inewspapers across Chicago promoting HIV awareness and prevention. Share them with your circles -- yes HIV is preventable and Yes, medication is helping people live longer with HIV -- HOWEVER, 50% of those who die of HIV-related illnesses are Black even though Black people are only 14% of the population in Illinois! And, HIV-related illness are the #4 cause of death for non-Hispanic Black women in Chicago between 25-50 years of age. Note--some "HIV-related illnesses" include pneumonia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, cryptocococal meningitis, liver and kidney failure, TB, Hepatitis C, and other conditions resulting from severe immune system suppression. How do we get more Black people -- Black Women and Black Men to take PrEP to prevent HIV transmission??? Rodnisha Anderson Lakisha P.
