National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day: A Look at Progress and Challenges in the Fight Against HIV/AIDS

"Take Health Advocacy Into Your Own Hands: Support Your Community and Take Care of Your Own Health."

"My goal is to get all of us to think about public health in that same way - to make sure our family is healthy and safe, to make sure we're supporting each other, and to take better care of each other so that we can be better human health advocates."

Eugene L. Green is a public health advocate and human health advocate, working in the healthcare, marketing, and sales arena for almost 20 years. His goal is to get all of us to think about public health in the same way and to take better care of each other.
Despite the challenges of racism, stigma, homophobia, poverty, and access, Eugene believes that if the Black community rallies around an important cause, they can achieve great things. He believes that HIV can be managed and that people facing it still have worth and deserve care, support, and understanding.

In this episode, we talk about:
1. The unique challenges faced by the black community in relation to public health, including HIV and AIDS.
2. The importance of taking care of each other and having conversations about HIV prevention within the black community.
3. How the COVID-19 pandemic affected HIV/AIDS testing.
