Policy advocates discussed the intersection of HIV/AIDS and race and the importance of the Minority AIDS Initiative during Johns Hopkins University’s World AIDS Day Conference. Several topics were addressed, including racial equity in health policy, improving access to medicines and therapies in minority communities, funding and resources needed for HIV/AIDS prevention, and the impact of the Supreme Court’s recent decision on affirmative action and reproductive rights. The Minority AIDS Initiative was spearheaded by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) and the Congressional Black Caucus in 1998 to help ensure the necessary federal resources needed to help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS in minority communities. close
