Report: Blacks with HIV Still Maintain Anonymity with Respect to Access to Treatment in U.S., World

Posted on July 30, 2008 by Michael Douglas, MD, MBA 

If there were no other reason to support the fact that African-Americans are an underrepresented demographic with respect to the access to healthcare in this country, one would have to look no further than statististics outlined in a recent report [PDF] prepared by the healthcare think tank, Black AIDS Institute.  Besides characterizing the inadequate healthcare support for blacks living with HIV in this country as “lethargic and often neglectful”, one of the report’s co-authors calls for what, in essence, would be a global “shout out” to healthcare leaders of the dire circumstances of this disease’s most numerous silent minority. | LINK
