Show Notes

We can only stop HIV by working together. In today’s episode, we come live from the Biomedical HIV Prevention Summit to hear from leaders all over the nation about how they’re working in their communities to stop the spread of HIV and end HIV stigma. 

Together, we discuss how each of these leaders chose to work for the HIV/AIDS community, how we can connect people to important resources like PrEP, how we can generate change in communities with heavy HIV stigma, and what important knowledge we’re going to bring from the summit back into our communities to prevent HIV and improve the lives of those living with HIV. 

Guests: 

LaMar Yarborough, Founder and Exec Director of HYPE to Empower Inc.

Jonathan Roberte, Hyacinth Foundation in New Jersey

Sequan Kolibas, Founder and Exec Director of Hope on Tapp in Salt Lake City, 

Johnny Wilson, Director of Outreach for RAIN in Charlotte, NC.

What is Real Talk with NMAC?

Every episode of Real Talk with NMAC provides people of color, allies, and advocates in the community — regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity — who are at greater risk of HIV/AIDS with a greater understanding of the role racial inequities play in the epidemic, and how to address them.

NMAC (The National Minority AIDS Council) leads with race to normalize discussion about race within the HIV movement, bend the curve of new HIV diagnoses, and retain people of color living with HIV in care. Listeners will receive tools to advocate for better policies to care for people living with HIV — and to end the epidemic — and learn about the services NMAC offers to empower our community to achieve these goals.

This show is for everyone of color living with or at risk of HIV/AIDS, the allies who fight alongside them, and advocates who represent for us at all levels of power. Listen now and become part of our community of advocates who champion our issues and the issues of those living in communities most affected by HIV.
