"The Southern United States accounts for approximately one-third of the U.S population, yet – the South accounts for – 52% or more than half of the new HIV diagnoses and 47% or nearly half of AIDS deaths in the U.S. That’s more than half of the new HIV cases and almost half of the AIDS deaths are in the South.

North and South Carolina, Florida, Texas, Louisiana and Alabama. Georgia where I live and love and Tennessee and Mississippi where my family has roots..… carry the burden of the HIV epidemic in the U.S.

Same gender loving men, Transgender women of color and Black and Brown folk are greatly impacted by the epidemic in the South. It’s Homophobia, Transphobia, Xenophobia, Racism, Stigma, Shame, Poverty, Oppressive and antiquated policies and poor health care infrastructure that perpetuate the epidemic in the South. We must address these factors and more. We must end the epidemic."
