'Women Don’t Get AIDS, They Just Die From It'

Women with HIV and AIDS were largely ignored by the public, government, and medical establishment. In the late 1980s, Katrina Haslip, an AIDS activist, helped found an organization for women with HIV and AIDS in prison. She continued her advocacy outside of prison, demanding recognition and dignity for women with AIDS. The podcast also explores the role of negative messaging in the black community and the influence of the church on attitudes towards HIV.
