Fade Out HIV

Course Overview

New HIV diagnosis rates are 8x higher for Black individuals than White individuals. In LA County, Black males account for 4% of population but 16% of people living with HIV.

Black people are disproportionately impacted by HIV and aren’t being prescribed PrEP. What are the barriers to equity and how can we overcome them? In this on-demand webinar, Dr. William King discusses the health outcome disparities in the Black community and how we can address them. Learn to:

  • Restore trust and improve access to health care in the Black community.
  • Handle difficult conversations about sexual health.
  • Improve patient access and affordability for medications.

PROBLEM: There remains stigma about HIV in the Black community, especially among men.

SOLUTION: Barbers in the Black community interact frequently on a personal level with their clients. We’re educating barbers through a workshop at Barbercon Los Angeles on how to have conversations about sexual health with their clients. We’re looking for HIV testing clinics in LA to be part of a trusted referral network for these barbershop clients. Join our HIV testing referral network to be part of the solution. Watch the webinar to learn more.
