HIV & Health Equity Program
The HRC Foundation’s HIV and Health Equity Program is relentless in its work to combat HIV-related stigma and end the HIV epidemic once and for all. Through a range of guides, videos, publications and images — in English and Spanish — the team educates LGBTQ+people and allies about the current realities of HIV as well as the effects of stigma on the very communities most in need.
Among many public education efforts, the team has led campaigns endorsing the use of PrEP as an effective prevention tool, the need to end laws criminalizing people living with HIV, and the unique challenges facing gay and bisexual men and transgender women — especially those of color — in the South.
Served by our ELEVATE partners, 10 Black and Latine transgender women affiliated with 9 community-based organizations in Alabama, Arkansas, Texas and Mississippi.
Served annually by our partnership with the Southern Black Advocacy and Policy Network, 17 minority-led and serving community-based organizations, advocates and stakeholders.
As well as 1 in 4 Latine MSM will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetimes. Already today, 1 in 2 Black transgender women and 1 in 4 Latine transgender women have HIV.
